Martin Niemöller: "First they came for the Socialists..."

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.
