Why is it my responsibility to stand up for what’s right? 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. • Martin Niemöller
