“First 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 for me.” – Martin Niemöller
This quote expresses Niemöller's belief that Germans had been complicit through their silence in the Nazi imprisonment, persecution, and murder of millions of people.
Seems fairly relevant to me…
