The fate of this poor girl has been very sad. She was in fact rescued from a brothel and sadder still, she had been brought thither by her own aunt. 

                  Meriam's mother died, when she was but a little child and her aunt took care of her. The poor woman has suffered much during and after the war, and after the death of her husband she gave up her honour and conscience and went to the brothel. 

                  Other Armenian women living in this horrible place still had so much feeling of decency left that they could not bear to see the little girl there and they brought her to us.
