In the beginning of the deportation Turfania was exiled with her parents, one brother and two sisters. On the road to Deir-el-Zor she first lost her little sister, then her father, afterwards her mother. She witnessed their death one by one. The remainder, two sisters and one brother, were obliged to go further on. When she or her sister were exhausted with fatigue, her brother carried them by turn on his back. Once, loaded with his living burden, he was left behind. A gendarm, an impious man, in his madness nearly killed the defenseless man. Thus, in order to save his own life, he was obliged to leave his sisters on the road and continue the journey. The first passerby took Turfanda and brought her into his tent, where he married her by force. She, in the course of eleven years, got four children who died. Once she fled at the peril of her life and reached Aleppo. We took the woman into our reception house.

Left our care: July 20, 1926. Selfsupporting, servant. Married in our colony to No. 797.
