Who is "They" if we are all human?

In Germany they first came for the Communists, and I did not speak up because I was not a Communist.

Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak up because I was not a Jew.

Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak up because I was not a trade unionist.

Then they came for the Catholics, and I did not speak up because I was a Protestant.

Then they came for me... and by that time no one was left to speak up.
