and I didn't speak out because I wasn't a Communist
Then they came for the Trade Unionists,
and I didn't speak out because I wasn't a Trade Unionist
Then they came for the Jews,
and I didn't speak out because I wasn't a Jew
Then they came for the Catholics,
and I didn't speak out because I was Protestant
Then they came for me,
and there was no one left to speak out for me.
-Pastor Martin Niemöller (1892–1984)
