First they came for the Jews

And I did not speak out

Because I was not a Jew,

Then they came for the communists

And I did not speak out

Because I was not a communist.

Then they came for the trade unionists

And I did not speak out because I was not a trade unionist.

Then they came for me

And there was no one left

To speak out for me
