Satenig's husband was killed in his native town a few days before the persecution. Many of the people had sought refuge in a public hall. The building was set on fire. Some were burned alive, some had tried to get away but were shot on the very spot. Thus, the contents perished either by fire or by the hostile bullets. Satenig was taken by force to a Turk's house, from where she witnessed the flames which devoured the innocent people, including her mother. When the Turkish army and population were retiring before the Russians, she also came with her owner to Mardin, where she lived with him until she was saved by an Armenian Catholic priest who sent her to us. 

She reached us in safety accompanied by her cousin (No. 1032), whom she had been able to keep with her during the time of her slavery. 

We have sent Satenig to her uncle in Paris.

Left our care: June 22, 1926. Relatives uncle in Paris.
