Why Does the LDS Church Keep Baptizing Jewish Holocaust Victims?
In 1995, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS) signed an agreement with Jewish organizations to cease posthumous baptisms of Jewish Holocaust victims. However, decades later, these sacred promises appear to have been repeatedly violated.
Join Dives from the Mormon News Roundup as we explore the troubling history of LDS proxy baptisms for Holocaust victims, featuring insights from researcher Helen Radkey and reactions from the Jewish community. We dive into the implications of the 1995 Mormon-Jewish agreement, the ethical concerns surrounding posthumous ordinances, and the evidence of ongoing baptisms despite clear directives.
From Anne Frank to prominent Jewish figures, this episode uncovers the hidden practices and strained interfaith relationships that continue to define this controversy.
What do you think? Should the LDS Church take stronger action to enforce its promises? Is this an isolated issue, or does it reveal a systemic problem within the Church?
