Apathy is Lethal

When the Nazis came for the communists, I did not speak outbecause I was not a communist.
When they came for the social democrats,I did not speak outbecause I was not a social democrat.
When they came for the trade unionists I did not speak outbecause I was not a trade unionist.
When they came for the JewsI did not speak out because I was not a Jew;
When they came for me,there was no one left to speak out.---Martin Niemoeller (1939, Germany)
