What happens elsewhere affects everyone, even if they don&#x27;t see it right here and now.<p><i>First they came for the Socialists, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Socialist.<p>Then they came for the Trade Unionists, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Trade Unionist.<p>Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Jew.<p>Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.</i><p>~ Martin Niemöller
