3) Preparations are to be made for the arrest of about 20,000 to 30,000 Jews in the Reich. Above all well-to-do Jews are to be selected.

First they came for the communists, and I did not speak up—because I was not a communist;

Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak up—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 by that time no one was left to speak up.-Pastor Martin Niemöller
