First they came for the Socialists, and I did not speak out-- - TopicsExpress



          

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.---- “First they came …” is a famous statement and provocative poem attributed to pastor Martin Niemöller (1892–1984) about the cowardice of German intellectuals following the Nazis rise to power and the subsequent purging of their chosen targets, group after group. Lets take this to heart we cannot be silent, we cannot turn a blind eye, there are more of us than there are them,..let us stand together and fight back
