    They came first for the Communists,

    and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a Communist.

    Then they came for the Jews,

    and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a Jew.

    Then they came for the trade unionists,

    and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a trade unionist.

    Then they came for the Catholics,

    and I didn't speak up because I was a Protestant.

    Then they came for the sick, the so-called incurables, and I didn't speak up,

    because I wasn't mentally ill.

    Then they came for me,

    and by that time no one was left to speak up.

    This is what is happening here.
