“I believe in Christianity as I believe that the sun has risen: not only because I see it, but because by it I see everything else.”
First they came for the Socialists, and I did not speak out–
Because I was not a Socialist.
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.
Then they came for me–and there was no one left to speak for me.
~ Pastor Martin Niemöller (1892-1984)
