Kristine Hagopian was born in 1906 and her father had connections and worked for the Turkish government. When they were being ordered to go to the Armenian church to be deported, they didn't listen and stayed in their house. They barged in to their house and raped her father. In her picture, Kristine looks hurt and scared. Her father killed himself after they were captured so she must have been hurting a lot. After they were captured she and her family must have went on, not even being able to grieve the loss of their father.
Sam Kadorian was just 7 years old when they took them away to the Euphrates River. They grabbed all the boys from 5-10 years old and started slashing and stabbing at them. He got hit in the face and was left alone on top of bleeding bodies. Later, his grandmother found him and consoled him. In his picture, he looks so scared. You can see the scar on his face from when he was hit with the sword. He watched the bodies of the children float away in the Euphrates River.
