SPEAK UP

When we are tempted to look away or even join in…

‘We must always take sides. Neutrality helps the oppressor, never the victim.

Silence encourages the tormentor, never the tormented.’

Elie Weisel, Holocaust survivor

Simone Arnold

‘At school I was under more and more pressure to heil Hitler. But I refused because in my heart I could never honour a man in this way as if he were a god who could save people. I was arrested at the age of 12’

Simone Arnold

Speak out

‘Nothing that I can do will change the structure of the universe. But maybe, by raising my voice I can help the greatest of all causes – goodwill among men and peace on earth’.

Albert Einstein, Scientist

and Darfur

We have to speak up when we see that something is wrong

First they came for the CommunistsAnd I did not speak out

Because I was not a Communist.Then they came for the Socialists

And I did not speak outBecause I was not a Socialist.

Then they came for the trade unionistsAnd I did not speak out

And I did not speak outBecause I was not a Jew.Then they came for me

And there was no one left To speak out for me
