My Armenian great grandmother on mother's side, Sophia Jerachian, went to Cuba from Aleppo,Syria (where she was a refugee with several children after her husband was killed by the Turks)..in the end my grandmother was the only child who survived and came to America at age 18 to marry my grandfather. My grandmother seemed to enjoy her childhood and the beauty of Cuba, but I believe she was too young to remember anything of Aleppo.
