在德国，起初他们向共产主义者而来，我没有说话——因为我不是共产主义者;
随后他们向犹太人而来，我没有说话——因为我不是犹太人;
后来他们向工会成员而来，我没有说话——因为我不是工会成员;
此后他们向天主教徒而来，我没有说话——因为我是新教徒;
最后他们奔我而来，却再也没有人站起来为我说话了。
First they came 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 did not speak out because I was not 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 there was no one left to speak up for me.
