Why did workers of schindler put rocks on his grave?
Some Jewish traditions are VERY old. To prevent wild animals from digging up the body of the dead person, the ancient Israelites would cover the gravesite with stones. When mourners or passers-by would come to visit the grave in later years, they would refresh the stones that animals had disturbed. (Israel in 2000 BCE could be a pretty rural place.) For the last thousand years or so, there hasn't been much need to prevent wild animals from digging up the body, so there's no longer a need for BIG stones. So mourners place small stones on the grave to maintain the tradition. Frequently, these are just pebbles placed on the tombstone. The more pebbles, the greater the number of mourners who have visited. In the play "Fiddler on the Roof", Tevye asks "Why do we do these things? That, I can tell you in ONE WORD; TRADITION!". This begins the song "Tradition!"
