WE WERE ALONE
“When they came for the Communists
we were not Communists”
so we did nothing
“When they came for the Jews”
we were not Jews
so we did nothing
“When they came for the Social Democrats”
we were not Social Democrats
so we did nothing
“When they came for the Trade Unionists”
we were not Trade Unionists
so we did nothing
“When they came for the Liberals and Intellectuals”
we were scared
so we did nothing
“When they came for the Churchmen”
we were frightened
so we did nothing
“When they came for us”
we looked for help – but we were alone”
(Martin Niemoller )
