Garabed has been deported with his parents, his brother and his married sister to Deir-el-Zor. It took them months until they came to this city. His father became ill and his mother was killed during the massacres. He does not know what became of his brother and sister, as they were taken away by some men of the Shammar tribe. He himself was taken to an Arab house and became the shepherd of his master. The Muslims of the village called him always: "Christian dog". Tired of his existence he escaped from the village, hoping to find some relatives. He fled at night after a long and rather tiresome wanderings he came to Syria. Some Armenians showed him the way to Aleppo and to the Armenian church. He was sent to us from there.
