"In Germany they first came for the Communists and I didn't 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 didn't speak up because I wasn't a
trade unionist.
Then they came for the Catholics, and I didn't
speak up because I was a Protestant.
Then they came for me--and
by that time no one was left to speak up."
--Pastor Martin Niemoller.
