"First they came for 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.
Rev Martin Niemoeller (1892-1984)
