First they came for the Shiite And I did not speak out Because I was not a Shiite Then they came for the Journalist And I did not speak out Because I was not a Journalist 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 Igbo And I did not speak out Because I was not Igbo Then they came for the Activist And I did not speak out Because I was not an Activist Then they came for the trader And I did not speak out Because I was not a trader Then they came for the oniṣegun And I did not speak out Because I was not oniṣegun Then they came for me And there was no one left To speak out for me "First they came ..." (German: Zuerst kamen sie ...) is the poetic form of a 1946 post-war confessional prose by the German Lutheran pastor Martin Niemöller (1892–1984). It is about the silence of German intellectuals and certain clergy—including, by his own admission, Niemöller himself—following the Nazis' rise to power and subsequent incremental purging of their chosen targets, group after group. Many variations and adaptations in the spirit of the original have been published in the English language. It deals with themes of persecution, guilt, repentance, and personal responsibility.
