这是镌刻在美国波士顿「犹太人屠杀纪念碑上」上的，德国新教牧师马丁;尼莫拉 Martin Niemöller (1892-1984) 的忏悔诗。尼莫拉曾是纳粹的受害者，他在晚年为自己当年的道德污点写下忏悔诗。



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，
but by that time， there was no one left to speak up.


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；
接着他们追杀犹太人，
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；
最后他们奔向我来，
却再也没有人站出来为我说话。
