在美国波士顿犹太人屠杀纪念碑上，铭刻著一位叫马丁-尼莫拉（Martin Niemoller ）的德国新教牧师留下的发人深省的短诗

In Germany they first came for the Communists,　
and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a Communist.　　
Then they came for the Jews,　　
and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a Jew.　　
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 Catholics,　　
and I didn't speak up because I was a Protestant.　　
Then they came for me -　　
and by that time no one was left to speak up.　　　　

-- Pastor Martin Niemöller

在德国，
起初他们追杀共产主义者，我没有说话──因为我不是共产主义者；
接著他们追杀犹太人，我没有说话──因为我不是犹太人；
后来他们追杀工会成员，我没有说话──因为我不是工会成员；
此后他们追杀天主教徒，我没有说话── 因为我是新教教徒；
最后他们奔我而来，却再也没有人站起来为我说话了~~

-- 牧师 马丁-尼莫拉
