            In the year 1915 Hripsime came on the road of deportation. Her father, brothers and uncles were all killed. Her mother soon died. Hripsime was then 14 years old.

            She and her sister, nine years old, reached Mardin, where an Arab dragged them to his home. He immediately married Hripsime and sold her sister to an old Beduin. Hripsime never saw her more.

            After some years Hripsime met with an Armenian young man and they succeeded in fleeing to Aintab. There they married. He got work and they were happy. Hripsime gave the birth to three children. Her husband was taken as a soldier and she fled with her little ones to Aleppo. November 1930 Hiripsime's husband is now staying in Aleppo with his family. He is paralyzed. February 1931. Supported a little from us.
