First they came for the communists, and I did not speak out–
because I was not a communist;
Then they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out–
because I was not a socialist;
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 Jews, and I did not speak out–
because I was not a Jew;
Then they came for me–
and there was no one left to speak out for me.

“Prima di tutto vennero a prendere gli zingari, e fui contento perchè rubacchiavano.
Poi vennero a prendere gli ebrei, e stetti zitto perchè mi stavano antipatici.
Poi vennero a prendere gli omosessuali, e fui sollevato perché mi erano fastidiosi.
Poi vennero a prendere i comunisti, ed io non dissi niente perchè non ero comunista.
Un giorno vennero a prendere me, e non c’era rimasto nessuno a protestare”
