Interview:
Schmidt-Bodner, Edith (Oral history) | Imperial War Museums (iwm.org.uk)

@konekomiep I don’t think you selected the right person. “Your” Edith Hirth was born in 1920. She would have been 16 years old in 1936. Her father was Meyer Hirth.

The Edith Hirth under reference was born in 1928 and 16 years old in 1944. Her father was Samuel Hirth.

If you listen to the interview above it all fits with the details on the CLI-card under reference:

Edith’s parents were both born in Poland, but moved to Germany at an early age. They kept their Polish nationality. They had three children. Edith Hirth was the youngest. Edith got separated from her parents and siblings in France because she was staying for the summer holiday with the Hochner family, friends of her parents, in Saint-Martin-Vésubie. She fled with the Hochner family to Rome via Turin and was hidden in a catholic convent. After the war she was reunited with het family who had survided in hiding in Lyon. In 1950 Edith Hirth married and moved to London.
