This is from the Holocaust Memorial Day Trust, a longer version of the famous poem from Martin Niemoller which was written after the Nazi takeover of Germany, important words for an important time in our country’s existence:
First they came for the Communists
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Communist
Then 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 out for me
