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.
