According to tradition, Gustawa Hochsinger's tombstone was probably issued a year after her death. The photo was sent to her family living in Palestine. The tombstone survived the Second World War and still stands in sector 71, row 4, number 142 in the Jewish cemetery on Okopowa Street in Warsaw (Wirtualny Cmentarz [The Virtual Cemetery] (jewish.org.pl), accessed 11 October 2021).
