They came first for the Communists
and I did not speak out because I was not a Communist.
Then they came for the Jews
and I did not speak out because I was not a Jew.
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 a Protestant.
Then they came for me
and there was no one left to speak out for me.
