First they came for the Communists And I did not speak out Because I was not a Communist . Then 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 out - Martin Niemöller
