First 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 for me. — Martin Niemöller (1892–1984), Protestant pastor who opposed Adolf Hitler and spent the last 7 years of Nazi rule in concentration camps
