JEFFREY STEEN
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 Communists,
and I did not speak out--
Because I was not a Communist.
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 Niemöller
1892-1984
German anti-Nazi theologian and Lutheran pastor
