I didn't make the connection - you did, when you paraphrased Pastor Neimoller's quote, which was about the imprisonment and genocide of gypsies, Jews, and others who were seen by the Hitler regime as sub-human.

They came first for the Communists,
and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a Communist.

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 Jews,
and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a Jew.

Then they came for me
and by that time no one was left to speak up.
