First they came for the Communists
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a CommunistThen they came for the Socialists
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a SocialistThen they came for the trade unionists
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a trade unionistThen they came for the Jews
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a JewThen they came for me
(Martin Niemöller)
And there was no one left
To speak out for me
But first…
First they came for the truth
And when the truth was gone
There was nothing that could be said anymore
