Azniv was deported with her parents, one brother and 2 sisters. They stayed six months in Aleppo, from where they were exiled to Ras-el-Ain. There the caravan was attacked by Arabs who robbed, killed and butchered the poor people.

                  Azniv does not know furthermore about her parents, brothers and sisters. An Arab took her to his house as maid-servant. After one year the Arab sold her to another one for one Turkish pound. She was obliged to marry the next. After 7 years the Arab died, and she returned to her first master, there she remained 3 years.

                  Once she took information that her brother is living in Aleppo, with great difficulty she fled to Hassitshe. Our agent found her and sent her to us, here she looked for her brother and heard that he was in prison, where he must remain still 5 months. Of course she was sorry, yet she was very glad to have been accepted in our rescue-house and she has opportunity to visit her brother occasionally.

Left our care: November 1, 1926. Selfsupporting, Embroidery.

We had to take her back, because she had serious troubles with her ears. 

                  Finally she left for France. February 14, 1928.

                  She is now married in America.
