First they came for the Socialists, and I did not speak out—

Because I was not a Socialist

Then they came fof the Trade Unionists, and I did not out speak out—

Because I was not a Trade Unionist.

Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—

Because I was not a Jew.

Then they came for me—

And there was no one left to speak for me.

—Martin Niemöller (1892-1984)
