the Nazis are not targeting Jews.

Answer 1

The reading of First they came.... is really interesting due to the fact that it reminds me of the phrase - "someone else can do it"...or "someone really needs to pick up all that trash..."

The writings talk about how "I didn't speak up because I was not a communist, or a jew, or whomever. Finally, when they come for the author, there is no one to speak up for him, because he never spoke up for anyone else and they are all gone now.
