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.

First they came for the conservatives and I did not speak out-because I was not a conservative.

Then they came for the vocal critics, and I did not speak out--because I was not vocally critical.

Then they came for the faithful, and I did not because I was not a church goer.

Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.
