People who love peace, freedom and human rights should not forget the words of German pastor Martin Niemoeller (1892-1984) about the Nazis, paraphrased at the New England Holocaust Memorial in Boston:
“First they (the Nazis) 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 continued not speaking out.
Then they came for the Catholics, and I continued not speaking out – Because I was not a Catholic.
Then they came for me – and there was no one left to speak for me.”
