Frank Hopkins and Line Of Force

When the Nazis came for the communists, I remained silent; I was not a communist.When they locked up the social democrats, I remained silent; I was not a social democrat.When they came for the trade unionists, I did not speak out; I was not a trade unionist.When they came for the Jews, I remained silent; I wasn't a Jew.When they came for me, there was no one left to speak out. -Pastor Martin Niemoller ............................................................ ....................................................
