They came for the Communists, and I didn’t object – For I wasn’t a Communist;; They came for the Socialists, and I didn’t object – For I wasn’t a Socialist;; They came for the labor leaders, and I didn’t object – For I wasn’t a labor leader;; They came for the Jews, and I didn’t object – For I wasn’t a Jew;; Then they came for me – And there was no one left to object. Martin Niemoller, German Protestant Pastor,
1892-1984
