What proxy baptisms are and why members of the LDS Church perform them. The controversy surrounding the proxy baptism of historical figures, including Anne Frank and others who were never members of the LDS Church. The LDS Church's teachings about agency, salvation for the dead, and why these practices have sparked debate among historians, religious scholars, Holocaust organizations, and former members.This is not a debate or an attack on anyone's faith.
