            Serpouhi was deported with her father, one sister and two brothers. When they came near Islahie the father, one brother and many other men were killed. The rest of the caravan reached Bab. There a Kurd named Selon carried her forcefully away with him and married her. Serpouhi was then 13 years old and the Kurd 60 years. She gave the birth to three children. Selon had another wife, a Turk, who illtreated Serpouhi.

            Once she came with her husband to Aleppo, and on the street she met with her sister, who brought her to our home.
