Homenagem III

Após 60 anos, o Mundo não aprendeu bem a lição. Nada como a Solução Final se repetiu àquela escala, mas há alguns "hitlers" por aí que não desistem de tentar exterminar etnias ou manter inocentes presos em condições desumanas.
Aqui fica a minha homenagem:
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 wasn't a Catholic. Then they came for me -- and by that time there was nobody left to speak up.
Martin Niemöller
