Public Outrage growing, Anne Frank allegedly baptized by Mormon church after her death

Public Outrage growing, Anne Frank allegedly baptized by Mormon church after her death.(NP).(Yahoo). Anne Frank, the famous diarist and Holocaust victim, was put to death on account of her Jewish faith. But earlier this month, she was nonetheless secretly co-opted into the Mormon Church.Helen Radkey, a Mormon researcher, told the Associated Press she located Frank’s name in records from a Santo Domingo Temple in the Dominican Republic.
The proxy baptism, whereby someone else stands in for the deceased, was apparently performed on Feb. 18.So claim researchers investigating the US-based Church’s practice of posthumously baptising dead people - sometimes without the knowledge and almost always against the will of surviving friends and family members.
Ms Frank was “christened” at a Mormon temple in the Dominican Republic, in apparent violation of a pact between the Church and Jewish leaders. A local child, acting as her spiritual proxy, is believed to have been dunked in a font during the ceremony.
Computer records of the event register Ms Frank under her full name, Annelies Marie Frank, and say that she lived from 1929 to 1945. The baptism was “completed” at a temple in Santo Domingo on 18 February.
The allegations come after an apology was issued by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints last week for baptizing the parents of Simon Wiesenthal, a Holocaust survivor and Jewish rights advocate who died in 1995.It was revealed that Wiesenthal’s parents were baptized in January during rituals at temples in Utah, Arizona and Idaho.Wiesenthal’s mother Rosa died at the Belzec concentration camp in Poland in 1942. His father, Asher Wiesenthal, died during the First World War.Simon Wiesenthal hunted down more than 1,000 Nazi war criminals after the end of the Second World War.
After the accusation that Ms. Frank was baptized, the church released a statement, although they did not name the teenager who penned her famous diary while hiding from the Nazis in an attic with her family in Amsterdam.“The Church keeps its word and is absolutely firm in its commitment to not accept the names of Holocaust victims for proxy baptism,” the Salt Lake City-based church said. “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 Mormon Church said it's considering taking disciplinary action against the people who performed the proxy baptism for Frank.Read the full story here.
