Martin Niemöller (1892-1984) was a prominent Protestant pastor who emerged as an outspoken public foe of Adolf Hitler and spent the last seven years of Nazi rule in concentration camps.
Niemöller is perhaps best remembered for the quotation:
First they came for the Socialists, and I did not speak out-- Because I was not a Socialist.
Comparison of FReepers to Nazis is frowned upon on FR, as several zotted posters found out.

while the Mormons in Germany supported the Nazis and agreed with the murder of Jews..
when the Christian missionaries were expelled the Mormons were allowed to stay..
when a 17 year old German Mormon boy spoke out for the Jews the Mormons didn’t lift a finger to help him but excommunicated him and turned him over to the Nazis who beheaded him...
why because he went against the Mormons “religious freedom” and policy to hate Jews and want them exterminated..
