Thank you !


I've often wondered why Jewish people leave a stone at the grave of their family or friends ... remember that last scene in Schindlers List ??  Anyone know the reason ?

I think the significance of the stone is about leaving a mark that the deceased person has been remembered and visited by loved ones. Flowers wilt but the stones remain in place.   It was explained in one of the very early WDYTYA programs but I can't remember which one, possibly David Baddel?

I think it is to show others that someone else has visited but I could be wrong.

I wonder how much research was done to find Larry's grandfather Albert Day ?   There are a few 'possibles' in the BMD deaths index for Albert Day deaths between 1950 and 1980.  Did they try to eliminate any, I wonder ?

Probably !

Remember, what we see in the programme is no doubt only some of the research ... I expect Larry Lamb got as much info as the researchers found; we just get the interesting bits !

and naturally, the one that I missed, and I can't get the beeb i-player in Ireland :(



In answer as well to the stone on the Jewish grave...

"Even when visiting Jewish graves of someone that the visitor never knew, the custom is to place a small stone on the grave using the left hand. This shows that someone visited the gravesite, and is also a way of participating in the mitzvah of burial. Leaving flowers is not a traditional Jewish practice. Another reason for leaving stones is to tend the grave. In Biblical times, gravestones were not used; graves were marked with mounds of stones (a kind of cairn), so by placing (or replacing) them, one perpetuated the existence of the site."
