1938 - by Pastor Niemoller (Germany)

1938   

‘First they came for the Jews

And I did not speak out-

Because I was not a Jew.

`

Then they came for the communists

And I did not speak out-

Because I was not communists.

Then they came for the trade unionists

And I did not speak out-

Because I was not a trade unionists.

Then they came for me-

And there was no one left

To speak out for me.
