“First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out

Because I was not 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 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, Christian pastor, Holocaust survivor)
