During the deportation he was but a little child. His father died on the road near Mardin. A Kurd took Hovsep and his mother out of the caravan and brought them to his village. Hovsep was not ill-treated there as long as his mother was alive, but after her death, the Kurd put him out of doors. Hovsep got his daily bread working hard on the farms. Once he came to Mardin where he was informed about our rescue-home and resolved to reach Aleppo. Reaching Hassitshe he met with our agent who sent him to us.

 

 

Was sick for a long time.
