Before the wartime Markrid's father had gone to Constantinople on business. She herself, her mother, sister and a brother were deported. They suffered on the road from hunger, thirst and disease. Finally, the caravan reached Bab. Markrid was there taken by the chief of the city, a Turk. She became his slave. Once, when that man went to Aleppo with his whole family to celebrate a feast. Markrid succeeded in slipping out of the house and succeeded in slipping out, reaching an Armenian family, who advised her to go to our home. Markrid is very happy to be in a safe harbour.

Left our care: June 23, 1927. Relatives, aunt Aleppo.
