Re: Here's the Niemoller quote: [...] The cornpone Nazis on SI ought to pay some attention to this. But I know that they have such a terminal case of cranialrectalitis that they won't. Well, they might pay closer attention if you rephrase it to fit today's circumstances: First they came for the Muslims, and I did not speak out - because I was not a Muslim; Then they came for the anti-war liberals, and I did not speak out - because I was not a liberal; Then they came for the Mexican immigrants, and I did not speak out - because I was not a wetback; Then they came for the anti-Zionists, and I did not speak out - because I was a friend of Israel; Then they came for me - and there was no one left to speak out for me. Keep in mind that the first concentration camp of Nazi Germany --Dachau-- was set up to accommodate POLITICAL subversives, not Jews... clue: By March 1933, Germans had opened the Dachau concentration camp, followed by Buchenwald, Sachsenhausen and Ravensbruck, a camp for women. The initial camp, Dachau, housed captured political adversaries to the Nazi party, primarily German communists and social democrats. The first year the camp housed 4,800 prisoners. The number rose to over 13,000 in 1937 as other groups were rounded up by German forces such as Jehovah’s Witnesses, Gypsies, and repeat criminals. Originally Jewish prisoners were the minority, only imprisoned for belonging to one of the above categories or for violating the Nuremberg Laws of 1935. The Germans operated several concentration camps within their borders, and many others sprouted up as the German army moved across Europe. After the occupation of Austria in March 1938, Nazis began arresting and imprisoning German and Austrian Jews. Detainees suffered forced labor under inhuman conditions. Originally inmates worked on small projects in the camp or nearby roads, later being forced to support the German war machine by working in armament factories. Dachau alone managed over 30 subcamps, at which over 30,000 detainees worked almost exclusively on war production. [...] wyominghq.com
