  15. Taking Action too Late “They came first 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 me, and by that time, no one was left to speak up.” Martin Neimoeller, German Lutheran pastor and anti-Nazi activist who spent eight years in a concentration camp.

  16. Thinking about Neimoeller’s Words • What is Neimoeller saying about why some people failed to take action? • Does Neimoeller sound critical or not?

From the Holocaust?

Appeasement as a Response to Ultranationalism • Read pages 161-163 • Do you agree with Neville Chamberlain’s response because no one could have known at the time what Germany really intended and the countries affected were far away and none of Britain’s concern? • Or would you have supported Winston Churchill because appeasement only allowed Germany to become stronger — and it still led to war?
