Boston Holocaust Memorial

“THEY CAME FIRST for the Communists,

and I didn’t speak up because I wasn’t a Communist.

THEN THEY CAME for the Jews,

and I didn’t speak up because I wasn’t a Jew.

THEN THEY CAME for the trade unionists,

and I didn’t speak up because I wasn’t a trade unionist.

THEN THEY CAME for the Catholics,

and I didn’t speak up because I was a Protestant.

THEN THEY CAME for me,

and by that time no one was left to speak up.”

This statement, attributed to Pastor Martin Niemoeller, has become a legendary expression of the lesson of the Holocaust. Ironically, Niemoller had delivered antisemitic sermons early in the Nazi regime. He later opposed Hitler and was sent to a concentration camp.
