Kligler's grave, along with others, including that of Henrietta Szold were desecrated after the 1947-1949 Palestine war (1948), when the entire cemetery on the Mount of Olives was under Jordanian jurisdiction and a road was paved over it. After the Six-Day War (1967) the area fell under Israeli jurisdiction, the road was removed and a mass grave was created. Among the names listed on the memorial stone is the name of Israel Jacob Kligler. (Figure 10)
