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

      That’s not the original.
      Hint: any version that doesn’t mention “communists” is “filtered”.

        Good point. I forgot about the communist part and only copied the first one on wiki due to laziness. Thanks for reminding me.
