Why didn't anybody do anything?

"The Lottery" by Shirley Jackson


"In (Nazi) 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 Catholics. I didn't speak up because I was a Protestant. Then they came for me and there was no one left to speak up."     --Rev. Martin Niemöller (concentration camp survivor)
