"First they came for the Jews,
and I did not speak out because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for the Communists,
and I did not speak out because I was not a Communist.
Then they came for the trade unionists,
and I did not speak out because I was not a trade unionist.
Then they came for me,
and there was no one left to speak out for me."
-Martin Niemoller, German theologian who spoke out against the Nazis and was incarcerated in the concentration camps from 1937 to 1945, very nearly executed.
