809. 1938 - Pastor Niemöller

       '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 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 me —
And there was no one left
To speak out for me.'
