                  Zekie and Fehima belong to those little girls who do not remember anything about their past time. They do not know even their family name or birthplace.

                  Once, some Armenians seeing and inquiring into their story, succeeded in ascertaining that they were Armenians. Accordingly they informed our agent about the matter, who with the help of the French governor of Deir-el-Zor succeeded to rescue the two miserables.

                  Those girls were in the possession of the gypsies in the Deir-el-Zor region. They remained 10 years there. There were forced to work as singing and dancing girls, wandering from one village to another, thus supporting their master.

                   Went to America 1929.
