Relatives - mother in Greece





 

            In the beginning of the deportation Garabed was exiled with his mother, one brother and one sister to Aleppo. When they reached Azaz, an Arab took Garabed away from his mother. The rest of the family reached Aleppo, there his mother, with the help of a relative, found her chance to flee with her children to Beirut, then, she passed to Greece. As to Garabed, he lived only a few months with his owner in Azaz, then he fled to an Armenian caravan which was passing to Deir-el-Zor. On reaching there the poor boy was taken by an Arab to his village, where he had to work for him, being continually punished, scolded and ill-treated. One day our agent was informed about Garabed, he pitied him and succeeded to sent him to Aleppo. Thus, issuing from utter misery he entered upon life, but alas, that the poor boy had lost his sanity. 


We have located his mother in Greece and now trying to send him to his mother.



Left our care: November 14, 1926. Relatives Mother in Greece.
