    My mother, aged 92 was in the orphanage, Birds Nest, in Allepo. She was put there

    with her sister, aged 3 years old, by her mother who then fled to Buenos Aires, never to

    see her again. She lives independently, in Dorking, England and is active and well.

    But what a life she has had!! Her maiden name was Bochguezenian. I thought this might

    be of interest to you. I have a daughter, Anouchka, a teacher and a son Oliver, a violinist.
    He represented the Armenians for the Holocaust Memorial concert and played an Armenian tune broadcast on TV. My mother was at Birds Nest at the time of Miss Jacobson who she knew as “mama”.
