Beatrice was exiled with the whole
family to Deir-el-Zor. There her father married her to an Armenian, who seeing
the danger which was threatening his life embraced Islam. When the war was over
they returned to Aintab and her husband returned to his religion. As the French
forces left Aintab, her husband embraced Islam for the second time and remained
there with his wife and children while the greater part of the Armenians
migrated to Syria accompanied by the French forces. One day some Turks invited
her husband for a picnic. As they reached a garden outside the city they killed
him. Beatrice went to the Americans in Aintab, they prepared a passport and
sent her with her three children to our rescue-home in Aleppo.
Beatrice is
