起初他們追殺共產主義者,
我不是共產主義者, 我不說話;
接著他們追殺猶太人,
我不是猶太人, 我不說話;
後來他們追殺工會成員,
我不是工會成員, 我繼續不說話;
此後他們追殺天主教徒,
我不是天主教徒, 我還是不說話;
最後, 他們奔向我來,
再也沒有人站起來為我說話了.
----馬丁. 尼莫拉----
THEY CAME FIRST for the Communists,
and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a Communist.
THAN THEY CAME for the Jews,
and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a Jew.
THAN THEY CAME for the trade unionists,
and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a trade unionists.
THAN THEY CAME for the Catholics,
and I didn't speak up because I was a Protestant.
THAN THEY CAME for me,
and by that time no one was left to speak up.
