“First they came for the Jews and I did not speak out because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for the Communists and I did not speak out because I was not a Communist.
Then they came for the trade unionists and I did not speak out because I was not a trade unionist.
Then they came for me and there was no one left to speak out for
me.”
Fredrick Joseph Martin Niemöller (1892 – 1984), a preacher and social activist in Hitler’s Germany.
