“In Germany they came first 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 wasn't a Jew.

and I didn't speak up
because I wasn't a trade unionist.

Then they came for me,
and by that time no one was left
to speak up for me.”
