In the first outbreak of the deportation Djemile came on the road with her husband, parents, 2 brothers and a sister. Her husband, parents and brothers were killed in her presence. Her sister some days after became ill and died. Djemile left alone among thousands of Armenians. They travelled afoot and always exposed to the attack of a band of plunderers who robbed and killed the people in the presence of the gendarms, who after the slaughter shared the plundered booty.

                  Djemile came in the possesion of a Tjeten (???) who sold her to a Kurd. The latter passed her to a rich Turk. There she remained 12 years, till she got opportunity to cross the frontier and reach Ras-el-Ain, from where by our agent she was sent to us.
