Text (as written on board): “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, 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 out for me.” –Martin Niemöller on the Holocaust The conflict in Darfur has been called the “world’s worst humanitarian crisis” by the United Nations. The United States has condemned the war as genocide.
