When the Nazis arrested the Communists,
I said nothing; after all,
I was not a Communist.

When they locked up the Social Democrats,
I said nothing;after all,
I was not a Social Democrat.

When they arrested the trade unionists,
I said nothing; after all,
I was not a trade unionist.

When they arrested me, there was
no longer anyone who could protest.
