As for Mira's age, if the final memory is set during the Kristallnacht, which would make most sense, because it details a random violent storming of her house, which isn't what the Nazis did when they rounded Jews up for concentration camps and ghettos. Mira would be 79 - 80 in the present day [...]

Kristallnacht occurred in November of 1938. That was 80 years ago. (OK, 79 years, 10 months, 6 days). The character was 15 at the age of the incident. 80 + 15 = 95. Think born in 1923 or even 1922.
