Niemöller is perhaps best remembered for the quotation:
ReplyDeleteFirst 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 for me.
--Powerful words given that resistance before the dark side can take hold is never futile, just hard as hell.
And lest we forget the MacAuther Era as well. American Citizens incarcerated just for the suspicion of being a spy.
