First They Came
When the Nazis came for the communists,
I remained silent; I was not a communist.
When they locked up the social democrats,
I remained silent; I was not a social democrat.
When they came for the trade unionists,
I did not speak out; I was not a trade unionist.
When they came for the Jews,
I remained silent; I wasn't a Jew.
When they came for me, there was no one left to speak out.
Martin Niemöller (1892–1984)

That is so true.
I have actually read that verse before and really believe it is true. I appreciate the link to her website. It was very interesting. Have a great week.
