The Holocaust has been officially explained away as merely the relocation of the Jews into areas of Eastern Europe in which communications and transport networks are still very poor. However, many Germans suspect the government to have eliminated the Jews but are generally too unconcerned of the event or too afraid of the authorities to say or to do anything. Some surviving Jews have escaped to the Soviet Union and have provided testimony of the extermination efforts there. Nazi authorities decry Bolshevik propaganda, but the outside world is aware of the Holocaust. Kennedy, however, remains neutral to avoid further damaging relations and refers only to vague "human rights violations" that he wishes to investigate when he visits Berlin.
