Martin Niemola, a German Protestant pastor.

Died in Wiesbaden, West Germany on March 6, 1984, at the age of 92.

On the Jewish monument in Boston, USA, there is a famous saying by Martin Niemola:

In Germany,

At first they hunted down the Nazis Communists, I didn’t speak out—because I was not a communist;

Then they hunted the Jews, but I didn’t speak out—because I was not a Jew;

Later they They hunted down union members, but I didn’t speak out—because I wasn’t a union member;

After that, they hunted down Catholics, but I didn’t say anything because I was a Protestant;

In the end they went after Catholics. I'm coming. But no one stood up to speak for me anymore
