In Germany, they first came 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 homosexuals, and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a homosexual. Then
they came for the Catholics, and I didn't speak up because I was a
Protestant. Then they came for me---but by that time there was no one left
to speak up. -- Rev. Martin Niemoller, 1945
