First they arrested the Communists – but I was not a Communist, so I did nothing. Then they came for the Social Democrats – but was not a Social Democrat, so I did nothing. Then they arrested the trade unionists – and I did nothing because I was not one. And then they came for the Jews and then the Catholics, but I was neither a Jew nor a Catholic and I did nothing. At last they came and arrested me – and there was no one left to do anything about it.

Finally, they went after me, and there was no one left to stand up for me.

I believe that from 1933 I truly represented the Lutheran-Christian outlook on the Jewish question – as I revealed before the court – but that I returned home after eight years’ imprisonment as a completely different person.
