Simpson could always seek moral support from the 1968 Heisman Trophy he won as college football's best player. Not anymore.

My family was German, anti-Nazi and somewhat linked to the assassination attempt on Hitler. In July 1944 they had no other choice than to flee to Switzerland and seek refuge with relatives. Big surprise: the Swiss authorities accepted the four children in the family but turned back the five adults, who were caught, delivered to the Gestapo and imprisoned.
