NATIONWIDE PUBLIC OUTCRY
AND COMMENTS:
FIRST THEY CAME
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.
