Martin Niemöllers - "First they came for...."

- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Martin_Niem%C3%B6ller

"Friedrich Gustav Emil Martin Niemöller[a] (14 January 1892 – 6 March 1984) was a German theologian and Lutheran pastor.[1][3] He is best known for his opposition to the Nazi regime during the late 1930s and for his widely quoted 1946 poem "First they came ...". The poem exists in many versions; the one featured on the United States Holocaust Memorial reads: "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."
