First they came for the Communists and I didn’t speak up because I wasn’t a Communist. Then they came for the Jews, and I didn’t speak up because I was not a Jew. Then they came for the Catholics, I didn’t speak up because I was a Protestant. Then they came for me, and by that time there was no one left to speak up for me”- Pastor Martin Niemoller, 1945.
