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 was not a Jew. When they came for me, there was no one left to speak out.

起初納粹追殺共產主義者，我不是共產主義者，我不說話；接著他們追殺工會成員，我不是工會成員，我不說話；後來他們追殺社會主義者，我不是社會主義者，我繼續不說話；此後他們追殺猶太人，我不是猶太人，我還是不說話；最後，他們奔向我來，再也沒有人站起來為我說話了。 

Do these words touch you? I do.
