Relatives - brother in Beirut





 

                  His father and uncle were in America before the war broke out. 

                  Kevork was exiled with his mother and brother in the direction of Ras-el-Ain. His brother was killed and his mother died from hunger and thirst.

                  A Kurd dragged Kevork away and with that man he lived 12 years.

                  He was always very eager to rejoin his nation, but he did not succeed in fleeing. It was very difficult for him to live among the Moslems. When he was wandering out in the plains with some camel, he spoke Armenian to them for not forgetting it.

                  One day some muleteers passed. Those informed him about our house in Aleppo. He immediately left his camels and reached Hassitshe, whence, by our agents he was sent to us.

 

Kevork went to live with his brother in Beyrouth.

He has also relations in America.

Left our care:  2/4 27. Relatives.
