  • Quotation from Pastor Martin Nielmoller (1892-1984) Text on poster: "In Germany they first came for the Communists, and I did not speak out - because I was not a Communist. Then they came for the Jews and I did not speak out - because I was not a Jew. 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 Catholics and I did not speak up because I was a Protestant. Then they came for me - and there was no one left to speak out for me." -Pastor Martin Niemöller
