RE: Stand up

[Mary Van Sell <vansell@oakland.edu>]

Martin Niemoller (1892-1984):
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.

Here is another one, less specific this time...  Any leads about the
complete/exact wording, source etc.?
	They came for them and I didnt stand up and they came for
	other people and I didnt stand up and then they came for me
	and there was no one left to speak up.
