Margerit Stein is most likely identical to the Shoah survivor Margarete Stein. She was born on May 3, 1933, and liberated from the Theresienstadt Ghetto in 1945. Margerit Stein is listed on the records of residents of “Heim Isenburg” as Margerit, Margret orMargarete and with different birth years (1933 and 1935). The exact time when Margerit (Margret, Margarete) Stein came into the care of the "Neu-Isenburg" home is not known. She is listed in the first list of residents that was handed down. She is also found in later records up to October 1936. Her mother, the nurse Anna Stein lived  and worked in the Jewish Retirement Home in Frankfurt/Main, Rechneigrabenstraße 18. Her daughter was registered there as well. She attended the Philantropin as a student until this jewish school was closed in 1940. Margerit (Margret, Margarete) Stein was housed in the “Weibliche Fürsorge” nursery in Hans-Thoma-Straße in Frankfurt in 1939. Anna and Margerit Stein were deported from Frankfurt to the Theresienstadt Ghetto in September 1942. Both were freed in 1945, as it was published in the "Aufbau" magazine. .

At that time Margerit Stein had the surname Hirschberg, because in the meantime her mother had married. The 16-year-old was registered in the travel documents of her mother under the name Margarita Hirschberg.

Life in “Heim Isenburg” could be organized and regulated quite easily until the pogrom of November 1938, even if discrimination and harassments made the life of residents quite hard.
