First they came for the Communists,

and I didn't speak up,

because I wasn't a Communist.

Then they came for the sick,

the so-called incurables,

and I didn't speak up,

because I wasn't mentally ill.

Then they came for the Jews,

and I didn't speak up,

because I wasn't a Jew.

Then they came for me,

and by that time there was no one left to speak up for me.

Martin Niemöller 1946 (1892-1984)
