"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."
● pastor Martin Niemöller
First
they came for the Native Americans,
and
I did not speak out
-
because I was not a Native American.
Then
they came for the Blacks,
and
I did not speak out
-
because I was not a Black.
Then
they came for the Japanese,
and
I did not speak out
-
because I was not a Japanese.
Then
they came for the Muslims,
and
I did not speak out
-
because I was not a Muslim.
