Anne Frank Latest Holocaust Victim To Be Baptized By Mormon Church in Violation of Agreements

A group of Mormons have once again attempted to baptize-by-proxy Anne Frank, the young Jewish girl who hid in an Amsterdam attic before being caught by Nazis and ended up dying in a concentration camp.

The rite was conducted Saturday in a Mormon temple in the Dominican Republic, according to Helen Radkey, an excommunicated church member turned whistleblower.

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints practices proxy Baptism — converting Jews, Christians and Muslims to the faith years after they died by ritually dunking a stand-in for the deceased.

Radkey has revealed that Mormons posthumously baptized thousands of people, including Joan of Arc, Charlie Chaplin, Marilyn Monroe and Barack Obama’s mother.

Fury over the discovery in 1995 that the church had turned more than 300,000 Jews killed by Nazis for their faith into Mormons led the LDS church to promise to quit baptizing Holocaust victims.

In a statement Tuesday, the church said it was considering taking disciplinary action.

“It is distressing when an individual willfully violates the Church’s policy and something that should be understood to be an offering based on love and respect becomes a source of contention,” the church said.

Frank, who died at 15 in the Bergen-Belsen death camp after writing her famous diary, has been baptized by the Mormon church at least nine times before, according to Radkey.

Last week, the Mormon church apologized for posthumously baptizing the parents of Nazi hunter Simon Wiesenthal. His mother was killed in a death camp in 1942.

This is just the latest incident in a long string of baptisms of Jews who died in the Holocaust by members of the Mormon church. Church leaders have repeatedly claimed that this was done by rogue elements in the Church, but there was a prior incident where they entered into an agreement:

Church officials, in response, stated that the Church does not teach that vicarious baptisms coerce deceased persons to become Mormons, nor does the Church add those names to its list of Church members.[52][53] Church officials have also stated that, in accordance with the 1995 agreement, it has removed more than 300,000 names of Jewish Holocaust victims from its databases, as well as subsequently removing names later identified by Jewish groups. Church officials have also stated that a new version of the database, New FamilySearch, has been developed and is currently being implemented that would help prevent the submission of Holocaust victim names for temple ordinances.[54]

Despite the agreement, they're still at it. What makes the practice all the more galling is that these Mormon groups are specifically targeting Holocaust victims - Jews who were specifically murdered or condemned to concentration camps precisely because they were Jewish.
