In Germany they came first for the Communists and I didn't speak up
because I wasn't a Communist. Then they came for the Jews, but I did not
speak up because I was not a Jew. Then they came for the trade-unionists,
but I did not speak up because I was not a trade-unionist. Then they came
for the Catholics, but I did not speak up because I was a Protestant. Then
they came for me and by that time there was no one left to speak up."
