"First they came for the socialists,
and I did not speak out because I was not a socialist.

Then they came for the trade unionists,
and I did not speak out because I was not a trade unionist.

Then they came for the Jews,
and I did not speak out because I was not a Jew.

Then they came for me,
and there was no one left to speak for me."

~ Pastor Martin Niemoller, Nazi Germany, circa 1945.

To think of the lives contained in those baskets and suitcases!

Definitely an emotionally charged image, the desolation and idleness of such a collection of baskets and etc that lead the viewer to imagine what belongings each held. Wonderful!

Niemoller's quote always evokes such strong emotions from rage to sadness ... coupled with the thought of people escaping with only a basket of possessions makes this more emotionally charged! .. beautifully composed! 'm'
