美國波士頓猶太人被屠殺紀念的紀念碑上的墓誌銘

首先，他們來抓社會主義者，我沒有說話，因為我不是社會主義者。
接著他們追殺工會成員，我沒有說話，因為我不是工會會員。
接著他們追殺猶太人，我沒有說話，因為我不是猶太人。
接著他們追殺天主教徒，我沒有說話，因為我是新教徒。
然後他們來抓我，沒有人留下來為我說話。




新教牧師馬丁•尼莫拉(Martin Niemller，1892～1984)英文原文：

  First 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 the Catholics, and I didn’t speak up,because I was a Protestant.
  Then they came for me and there was no one left to speak for me.
