I didn't speak up

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

I love this quote it's so powerful. This is a quote we were talking about in English. Would you fight for something that has nothing to do with you? Would you die for someone you don't even know? To me, that's what it means to be a soldier.
