美國波士頓<猶太人屠殺紀念碑上>上的懺悔詩，來自於德國牧師馬丁·尼莫拉。有N多個版本。

英文版：

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.

中文版：

在德國，起初他們追殺共產主義者，

我沒有說話———因為我不是共產主義者；

接著他們追殺猶太人，

我沒有說話———因為我不是猶太人；

後來他們追殺工會成員，

我沒有說話———因為我不是工會成員；

此後他們追殺天主教徒，

我沒有說話———因為我是新教教徒；

最後他們奔我而來，

卻再也沒有人站出來為我說話。
