<span>In this poem by William Blake the lamb symbolizes
innocence.
This poem belongs to Blake's collection of poems, "Songs of Innocence", and the same iconographic elements that are used in Christianity can be found; the lamb
represents innocence, sacrifice and Jesus on the cross to free humanity from sin.
Blake questions the little lamb if it knows who or what has created it, telling
it that it was God’s will that brought it to life. </span>

This quote describes the way in which the Nazis operated during the Third Reich. The quote comes from the German pastor Martin Niemöller, and talks about the cowardice and individualism that the pastor observed during these years.
The "they" that the poem refers to is the Nazis, while those who did not "speak out" were the people that were not persecuted. The quote tells us that many people did not feel compelled to help others because they were not in the same social group. However, this also meant that no one helped them when they ended up being in the targeted group.
