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.
Martin Niemoller
The Holocaust was state-sponsored. It was the government who came for the Jews and the other groups they persecuted. When horrible and wrong things are happening, we cannot keep silent.
