"In Germany first they came 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 a Protestant.
Then they came for me-
and there was no one left
to speak out for me."
-Pastor Martin Niemoller (1892-1984)
A leader of the church's oposition to Hitler.
