Write the meaning to quotes plz:
1. "First they came for the Jews, and I did not speak because I was not a Jew. They came for the Communists, and I did not speak out because I was not a communist. Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out because I was not a trade unionist. Then they came for me- and there was no one left to speak out for me."
2. " Courage is rightly esteemed the first of human qualities because it is the quality which guarantees all others."

The first quote was writting by Martin Niemoller. He was a Protestant pastor. What does it mean? He emergered as an outspoken public foe of Hitler. He was a Jews. So what he is saying is speak up cause if not , something worse then what was actully going to happend can happend. So Martin did not speak up and spent the last 7 years of Nazi rule in work camp. The second quote basicly mean we are all equal.
I hope this helps.
