First
they came for the communists,
and I did not speak up,
because I wasn't a communist.
Then
they came for the Jews,
and I didn't speak up
because I wasn't a Jew.
Then
they came for the trade unionists,
and I did not speak up
because I wasn't 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 and by that time
no one was left to speak up.
~ Pastor Martin Niemöller
