Her father was killed in the beginning of the war. She
came with her mother one sister and one brother on the road. Some months they
were driven to and fro. They suffered awfully from hunger and thirst. Jester
had to leave her mother on the road. Her sister and brother were taken away by
Muslims. One day she herself fell exhausted on the roadside. The caravan went
further on. An Arab woman took her in, and after nine years she gave her to her
son Ali. Four years she lived with that man. She became no children. Her
husband was kind to her, but he had another wife, who illtreated Jester. One
day, when her husband was in Aleppo. She fled to Tel-Abiat from there an
Armenian sent her on to us.
