| | First they came for the Jews,
Berlin, 1939:
First they came for the Jews, But 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 the Catholics, And I did not speak out, Because I was not a Catholic. Then they came for me, And there was no one left to speak out for me. - Pastor Niemller (Anti-Nazi Resistance Movement) Dont remain Deaf & Dumb to 'Communal' Politics !! Speak up and organise now to defend life and secular space from fascists!!
often misquoted to not acknowledge social democracy "First they came for the Communists, but I was not a Communist, so I said nothing. Then they came for the Social Democrats, but I was not a Social Democrat, so I did nothing. Then came the trade unionists, but I was not a trade unionist. And then they came for the Jews, but I was not a Jew, so I did little. Then when they came for me, there was no one left to stand up for me."
