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
