Holocaust Teaching Weeks 14th – 25th January 2008 Remember , Reflect, React

And then they came for me First they came for the communists and I did not speak out because I was not a communist. 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. And then they came for me and there was no one left to speak out for me. By Martin Niemoeller (1892-1984)
