Holocaust Day 2022

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.

German Lutheran pastor Martin Niemöller (1892–1984).
