After having abdicated the throne, in exile, not allowed to return on
pain of losing their allowance, the couple visited Adolf Hitler
in 1937. Simpson was thrilled to be "entertained by Herr Hitler" but
there is no proof of further contacts with the Nazi regime with the
exception of a telegram from Edward to Hitler, urging peace. Edward
was later appointed Governor of the Bahamas. Recently released FBI
files identify Simpson as a Nazi sympathizer, though. The FBI
suspected her of having an affair with a leading Nazi and spied on
her.

Abraham
Abraham, the son of Terah, Noah's descendent, and brother of Nahor and
Haran, first appears in the Bible in Genesis 11:27. He may have been
born in Ur, in today's Iraq, near Nasiryah, around 4000 years ago. His
brother, Nahor, definitely was born in Ur and, having fathered Lot,
also died in Ur Kasdim (Ur of the Chaldeans). Ur was the capital of
S(h)umer but the Kasdim - Khaldeans - did not make it to Ur until 1300
years after the birth of Abraham. Why do the Bible call it Ur Kasdim?
Abraham's family are described as pastoral nomads.
