years after Hechler's passing the State of Israel came into being, in May 1948. In 2010, the forgotten unmarked gravesite of Reverend William Henry Hechler was rediscovered in London. Led by the Jewish American Society for Historic Preservation and the British Christian Zionist Movement, an appropriate graveside memorial was erected on 31 January 2011.
