Despite an agreement in 1995 in which the Mormon church agreed to stop baptizing Holocaust victims, large numbers of Jews killed in concentration camps have been added to the lists of those baptized posthumously. Haaretz reports:
We ask you to respect us and our Judaism just as we respect your religion,” [honorary chairman of the American Gathering of Holocaust Survivors, and son of two Auschwitz victims, Ernest] Michel said in a statement released ahead of the news conference. “We ask you to leave our six million Jews, all victims of the Holocaust, alone, they suffered enough.”
…Only the Jews have an agreement with the church limiting who can be baptized, though the agreement covers only Holocaust victims, not all Jewish people. Jews are particularly offended by baptisms of Holocaust victims because they were murdered specifically because of their religion.
The posthumous baptism of the ancestors of Jews who convert to Mormonism is still allowed, in keeping with the Mormon view that this allows families to reunite in heaven. The article goes on to say that this past May, “the Vatican ordered Catholic dioceses worldwide to withhold member registries from Mormons so that Catholics could not be baptized.” Read the full article here, and a compilation of conflicts between the Mormon church and the Jews at JewishGen: The Home of Jewish Genealogy, an affiliate of the Museum of Jewish Heritage.
