In the beginning of the war her father was a soldier in the Turkish army. The unhappy mother was deported with her two little children. On the road they suffered much of fatigue and hunger. Near Deir-el-Zor an Arab took them all in his tent. Very soon afterwards, he wanted to sell the mother to another Arab, but she refused very earnestly and at midnight, she fled from there, leaving her two children in the Arab's tent. Early in the morning, when Gita remarked her mother's absence, she fled too, and came to a village, where she lived many years with Kurds. When she was informed about our rescue-home, she fled without any delay and reached Deir-el-Zor from where by our agent she was sent to us.

Left our care: June 10, 1926. Received in an orphanage in Aleppo.
