Dikran was exiled with his parents and two brothers to Deir-el-Zor. What wonder that his father succumbed to hunger and fatigue. Dikran witnessed his father's death. When the caravan reached Deir-el-Zor, his mother and brother were dragged away from him and he himself was taken by an Arab to his village where he had to remain eleven year working as a shepherd, but fortunately he was not ill-treated. One day he was informed about our rescue-home and found a chance to flee to our agent in Hassitshe. From there he was sent to us. We have located his one brother in America and are waiting for the arrangement of his passports to rejoin his long-lost brother.

Left our care: November 15, 1926. Relatives. Brother in America.
