On May 3, 1995, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS) and a consortium of major Jewish groups led by the American Gathering of Jewish Holocaust Survivors signed a landmark agreement over the issue of posthumous baptisms of Jewish Holocaust victims by the LDS Church. In what seemed to be a good faith arrangement at the time, the LDS Church promised to cease subjecting Jewish dead to LDS proxy temple ordinances, with some exceptions. However, the 1995 agreement between Mormons and Jews was inherently flawed at the outset. It had more holes than Swiss cheese. As it turned out, Jews placed their trust in the wrong people.
