First they came...

By Martin Niemöller (1946):

First they came for the Communists, and I didn’t speak out because I wasn’t a Communist.

Then they came for the Socialists, and I didn’t speak out because I wasn’t a Socialist.

Then they came for the trade unionists, and I didn’t speak out because I wasn’t a trade unionist.

Then they came for me, and there was no one left to speak for me.
