Why is Free Speech
Important?... Why speak up about things that
don't seem to affect you? Perhaps Pastor Martin Neimoller's view will
answer that question.
He supported the Nazis until he realized, too late, what they were really about
and was sent to Dachau concentration camp. He was one of the fortunate to be
freed and live until 1984. First they
came for the Communists, and I didn’t speak up,
because I wasn’t a Communist.
Then they came for the Social Democrats, and I didn’t speak up,
because I wasn’t a Social Democrat.
Then they came for the Trade Unionists, and I didn’t speak up,
because I wasn’t a Trade Unionist.
Then they came for the Jews, and I didn't speak up,
because I wasn't a Jew,
Then they came for me,
and by that time there was no one left to speak up for me.
