22 Apr 03 - 11:16 AM (#937772) Subject: BS: forgotten quote From: kendall Some years ago, I read a quote something about standing by and not protesting wrongs. "When they came for the Jews, I didn't care; I'm not a Jew. When they came for the Catholics, I didn't care; I'm not Catholic."... Can anyone finish this? |

Then they came for the Jews, and I didn't speak up, because I wasn't a Jew. 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." Rev. Martin Niemoller, 1945 Peace moo |
