"First they came for the communists,
and I did not speak out because I was not a communist.
Then they came for the socialists,
and I did not speak out because I was not a socialist.
Then they came for the trade unionists,
and I did not speak out because I was not a trade unionist.
Then they came for the Jews,
and I did not speak out because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for the Catholics,
and I didn't speak up, because I was not Catholic.
Then they came for me,
and there was no one left to speak out."
--Pastor Martin Neimoller
truth,
sad,
when you do not speak out when you know,
