It is not my business

For those who think that it is not their business should learn from history.

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.

For those who think that it is not their business should learn from history.

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.
