  1. Martin Niemöller, a German Protestant Pastor, recalls Germany in the 1930s... "They came for the Communists, and I didn't object, for I wasn't a Communist. Then they came for the trade unionists, and I didn't object, for I wasn't a trade unionist. Then they came for the sick, the so-called incurables, and I didn't object, for I wasn't mentally ill. Then they came for the Jews, and I didn't object, for I wasn't a Jew. Then they came for me, and there was no one left to object." Answer these questions with at least a paragraph each, citing examples from the movie • What does this have to do with the Crucible? (Could John Proctor have said something like this?) • How does this discussion connect with our discussion about protecting civil rights vs. allaying the fears of a country? • Are we living through a modern day witch hunt? Please explain your answer and provide evidence to support it. If so what can we do about it?
