First they came for the Communists,
and I didn’t speak up, because I wasn’t a Communist.Then they came for the Socialists,
and I did not speak out, because I wasn’t 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 didn’t speak up, because I wasn’t a Jew.Then they came for me,
and by that time,
there was no one left to speak up for me.1945 by Martin Niemoller (1892-1984)
