Rupen Sevag received his elementary education in his birthplace at the Askanazian school. He then moved to Constantinople (now Istanbul) and studied at the prestigious Berberian School. He graduated in 1905 and went to Lausanne, Switzerland, to pursue studies at the medical school. He met his future wife, Helene Apell. After graduating in 1911, he decided to go back to Constantinople in 1914 with his family. This decision would cost him his life. He was arrested at the onset of the Armenian genocide on April 24, 1915, and killed on August 26, 1915.
