「起初他們追殺共産主義者...」

傳說中的「起初他們追殺共産主義者...」

"First they came for the Communists,
but I was not a Communist so I did not speak out.
Then they came for the Socialists and the Trade Unionists,
but I was neither, so I did not speak out.
Then they came for the Jews,
but I was not a Jew so I did not speak out.
And when they came for me,
there was no one left to speak out for me."

-- Martin Niemoeller
