Seeing as Blunkett and Hitler are under discussion in the same thread.
First they came for the Jews
and I did not speak out
because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for the Communists
and I did not speak out
because I was not a Communist.

and I did not speak out
because I was not a trade unionist.
Then they came for me
and there was no one left
to speak out for me.
That is all.

because I was in a concentration camp.
