First they came for the Jews
and I did not speak out -
because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for the communists
and I did not speak out -
because I was not a communist.
Then they came for the trade
unionists and I did not speak out -
because I was not a trade unionist.
Then they came for me -
and there was no one left
to speak out for me."
- Rev. Martin Niemöller
