Martin Niemöller Comments
To me, the worth is in the message the writer brings to light, that if we do not stand up to injustice being meted out to a fellow human being, we will one day be faced with an injustice to ourselves, and we will not have anyone stand up for us. The value in that is inestimable.
Can someone post the correct, original version with a source?
This version is incorrect. First they came for the communists is the original first line, and also is true historically. It is a shame that people have rewritten this quote to fit their political perspectives.
