“First they came …”

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 me–and there was no one left to speak for me.

Update: Let’s pray for them.

A 5-year old girl was rescued. Her 6-year old brother helped her put on life jacket.
