First they came....

A Poem, by WORLD WAR TWO ERA Confessing Church pastor, Martin Niemoller **IT IS ABOUT THE FASCISTS IN NAZI GERMANY! THOSE ARE THE "THEY" IN EACH SENTENCE!! First they came for the Communists And I did not speak out Because I was not a Communist Then 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 out for me --Martin Niemoller, FIRST THEY CAME, Poem, 1946.
