[etni] Re: Fw: looking for a text

Here's what you're looking for:

"In Germany,
they first 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 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 wasn't a Catholic.

Then they came for me ---
and by that time
there was nobody left to speak up."
