Martin Niemoller

Lutheran pastor and leader of the Confessing Church in Germany in the 1930's, Martin Niemoller's famous quote.
"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."
