      First they came for the Communists

      And I did not speak out

      Because I was not a Communist

      Then 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 out for me

      -Martin Niemoller
