thought of the day.315

“They first came 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.
Then they came for the trade unionists and I didn't speak up -
because I wasn't a trade unionist.
Then they came for the Catholics and I didn't speak up -
because I wasn't a Catholic.
Then they came for me -
and by that time no one was left to speak up.”

~ Pastor Martin Niemoeller
