was used to refer to the event of the war itself. In Siham Turjma’ s book Daughters of Damascus chapter on "The Seferberlik," tells the memories of her father who, according to his tale, was conscripted "to go to the Seferberlik" i.e. the war and worked as a telegrapher and communication officer on the front lines. Also Abdul Fattah Qal'aji wrote his book Urs Ḥalabī wa-hikāyāt min Safar Barlik (Aleppine wedding and stories from the Seferberlik). The Seferberlik in this book is a synonym for the war and its events. The Seferberlik has also emerged as a theme in Arab films and television programming. The Lebanese Rahbani brothers produced the war film Safar Barlik in the 1960s. The Syrian drama series Ikhwat al-Turab (Brothers in Soil), directed by Najdat Anzour in the 1990s, shows soldiers being separated from their families and loved ones because of the Seferberlik.
