(The 8th Night of Chanukah at Rabbi Akiva Boruch Posner’s House across from the Local Nazi Headquarters in Kiel, Germany in the 1930s.)
First they came for the Women and I didn’t speak out because
I wasn’t a Woman.
Then they came for the Gays and I didn’t speak out because I
wasn’t Gay.
Then they came for the Interracial Couples and I didn’t speak
out because I’m not in an Interracial Relationship.
Then they came for the Ukrainians and I didn’t speak out
because I’m not Ukrainian.
Then they came for the Jews and I didn’t speak out because I
wasn’t Jewish.
Then they came for Me and there was no one left to speak out.
This may seem like it was 80+ years ago, but in reality Anti-Jewish
Attacks are happening today around the World – in Germany, in the UK, in
France, in Russia, in Egypt, in the Netherlands, in Colombia, in Poland, in
Italy, in Canada, in the United States, etc.
The difference between the 1930s and 2023: in 2023 we know
what happened in the 1930s-1940s (the Holocaust) and should know and do better.
