I do care

First they went after Jews
I was no Jew, so I said nothing.
Then they attacked poles
I was not Polish, so I did not object.
Then they put pressure on liberals
I was not liberal, so I remained quiet.
Later, it was Communists turn
I was not a communist, so I remains silent.
At last, they came after me,
no matter how loud I screamed, there was no one left to come forward.

Bertolt Brecht

I'm afraid to tell you that your translation as well as the author is wrong..

It was originally written by pastor Martin Niemoeller, who had spent 7 years in a concentration camp.

My mistake, I think you are right, I checked it out.
I found the piece in another language under Bertolt Brecht, which I am familiar with, and also is German and anti-Nazi too. It sounds very much like his works, so I translated it.

As much importance as Brecht has for german literature; it being written by a person who had actually spent time in a concentration camp himself, gives it a completely different connotation.

This is the version I know it in(in english, but it's the same in german) Some argue about the order, but since he had first only said it and not written it down, they aren't sure, but this one would make sense.. but I do not want to give too much away and have you all develope an own understanding.

"First they came for the Communists
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Communist
Then 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 out for me"

Then they came for the socialists,

I have always heard it as Jenni's version.

So powerful and so sad.

I agree and so true.
Reminds me of this quote:

"Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere."
