A Famous Quotation from Pastor Martin Niemoller
ByThis famous modernized and often altered quotation from Martin Niemoller says everything that needs to be said about the overly content United States citizens of today. While researching this quotation I found a website managed by a professor from the University of California. On this site he has gone to great lengths to research the history of this famous quotation and it’s many different translations.

First They Came for the Communists
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.
A special thank you to Elaine S. for reminding me of this great quotation!
