Readers Speak
A need to speak up
Dear Editor,
I wanted to share this with readers.
“First They Came,” by Pastor Martin Niemoller
Written after the Holocaust
First they came for the Communists
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Communist.
Then 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
But 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.
Open your eyes, see what is happening in our country.
When will you speak out?
Debra L. Presnar,
Warren
