Peniamin was deported with his mother, two sisters and one brother. His father was a soldier in the Turkish army. Near Hassitshe the caravan was attacked and dispersed by Arabs. During the confusion he lost all his dear ones. Until today he has not gained any information about them. He himself was taken by an Arab to his village in Sindjar Dagh, then he came into the possession of a Kurd with whom he remained eight years serving as a farmer.         Once wearied of that unendurable life, he fled to Hassitshe, whence by our agent he was sent to us.

Left our care: October 20, 1927. Selfsupporting tanner. Married May 7, 1928 to Dikranuhi No. 1364.
