How do Mormons justify baptizing (dead) Jewish holocaust victims? Don't the Mormons see the travesty of their conduct?

Originally posted by @667joeWhat Christians now call the Bible mentions that practice, as well as the Septuagint which has a record of it as well. All the fine details concerning this life, death and the hereafter is still a mystery.

Mormons believe that if a man lives a good enough life he can become god of his own universe. He then calls his wife from the grave and has eternal sex with her so she can populate his universe with souls.
Since these baptisms are meaningless why care if they do it?
Originally posted by @wolfgang59To a non-believer like me, "whacky" Mormon stuff is much of a muchness with sonship's stuff about 'eating Christ' or 'marrying Jesus' or Dasa's stuff about 'reincarnation as an insect' or galveston75's stuff about exactly 144,000 Jehovah's Witnesses going to heaven to rule as kings and priests over the earth'.

No.
The Mormons think they are saving souls and thus doing good deeds. They are of course stripping the dignity away from people who have already been victimized.
They are not hurting anyone.
