Speak For Me

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.
They they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out - because I was not a Jew.
And then they came for me - and there was no one left to speak for me.

~ quote by Niemoller in a concentration camp.
