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.
