When they imprisoned the social democrats, I remained silent. I wasn't a social democrat, after all.
When they took the union members, I remained silent. I wasn't a unionist, after all.
When they took me, there was none left who could protest.

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.
