“In Germany, the Nazis came first for the Communists and I didn’t speak up because I wasn’t a Communist.
Then they came for the Jews,and I didn’t speak up because I wasn’t a Jew.
Then they came for the trade unionists,and I didn’t speak up because I wasn’t a trade unionist.
Then they came for the Catholics, and I didn’t speak up because I was a Protestant.
Then they came for me…. but by then no one was left to speak up.” — Attributed to Martin Nnimoller (1892-1984), A German pastor who supported National Socialism. By 1937 he was opposed to it and was at that time arrested and later placed in a concentration camp.
