In the past, the Mormon Church has posthumously baptized Jewish victims of the Holocaust, which was supposed to have stopped after a huge public outcry against it. However, it has happened again. This time, amidst the list of Holocaust victims, was famous Nazi hunter Simon Wiesenthal's mother, Rosa. Rosa died in the Belzec concentration camp in 1942.
The Mormon Church has issued an apology, putting blame on a single individual. They said that it is against Church policy to baptize Holocaust victims and that the person responsible would no longer be allowed to access the Church's genealogy records.
