THEY CAME FIRST for the Communists,
and I didn’t speak up because I wasn’t a Communist.
THEN THEY CAME for the Jews,
and I didn’t speak up because I wasn’t a Jew.
THEN THEY CAME for the trade unionists,
and I didn’t speak up because I wasn’ t a trade unionist.
THEN THEY CAME for the Catholics,
and I didn’t speak up because I was a Protestant.
THEN THEY CAME for me,
and by that time no one was left to speak up.
――Pastor Martin Niemoeller
译文：
起初他们追杀共产主义者，
我没有说话———因为我不是共产主义者；
接着他们追杀犹太人，
我没有说话———因为我不是犹太人；
后来他们追杀工会成员，
我没有说话———因为我不是工会成员；
此后他们追杀天主教徒，
我没有说话———因为我是新教教徒；
最后他们奔我而来，却再也没有人站出来为我说话了。
——马丁·尼莫拉牧师
