His father died before the war. He himself was deported with his mother, his sister and smaller brother. It took them months until they came to the region of Mardin. Near Arrada, a Kurdish village, the whole caravan was attacked by the Kurds. With many others his mother, sister and brother were killed in his presence. One of the murderers took Setrak to his village where he had to work for him. Years were passing and Setrag never heard a word about Christians or Armenians. Lately his master told him: "You are an Armenian and you will to become a Muslim if you like to be allowed to live among us." Setrag refused, he was outraged by all the villagers. At night Setrag ran away and reached safely our Hassitshe station. Our agent sent him right away to our Reception-House.
