Anne Frank 'posthumously baptised as a Mormon' Mormon researcher Helen Radkey, who revealed the Wiesenthal baptisms, said this week she found Anne Frank's name in proxy baptism records dated Feb 18, showing the ritual was performed in the Santo Domingo Temple in the Dominican Republic. Larry Bair, the president of the Mormon temple of Santo Domingo, said he had looked into the reports but was unable to verify that Frank had been baptised. If it did occur, Mr Bair told the AP, "it was a mistake." Frank was a Jewish teenager forced into hiding in Amsterdam during the Holocaust and killed in a concentration camp. Her diary was published in 1947. Mormons believe the baptism ritual allows deceased people a way to the afterlife but it offends members of many other religions. Jews are particularly offended by an attempt to alter the religion of Holocaust victims, and the baptism of Holocaust survivors was supposed to have been barred by a 1995 agreement. The church said it takes "a good deal of deception and manipulation to get an improper submission through the safeguards we have put in place." "While no system is foolproof in preventing the handful of individuals who are determined to falsify submissions, we are committed to taking action against individual abusers by suspending the submitter's access privileges," the church said in its statement. We will also consider whether other Church disciplinary action should be taken.
