first they came for the communists and i did not speak out-because i was not a communist
Then 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 out for me.
m@’s aunty Thalia speaks German fluently.I’ll see if she can track down the origional.Its very powerful and I’m glad you’ve found it too..alison
