They came first 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 the Catholics,
and I didn't speak up because I was a Protestant.
Then they came for me
and there was no one left to speak for me.
Martin Niemoller, 1945
First they came to arrest the Communists, and I did not speak because I was not Communist Party.
They then came to arrest the Jews, but I did not say anything because I was not a Jew.
They came to arrest trade union members again, but I didn’t say anything because I was not a trade union member.
They came to arrest Catholics again, but I didn’t say anything because I was a Protestant.
When they finally came to arrest me, there was no one left to speak for me.
