Dora Fabian (née Heinemann; 1901– 31 March or 1 April 1935) was a German socialist and anti-Nazi activist.
This environment nurtured her interest in politics and during the First World War she became a member of the Independent Social Democratic Party of Germany.
After being detained by the Nazis in March 1933, she decided to leave Germany rather than risk re-arrest.
However, this was not accepted by many members of the German anti-Nazi refugee community or their British supporters.
[citation needed] Fabian's life, her dangerous secret activist work in London, and the circumstances around her suspicious death and the inadequate coronial inquest that follows, feature in the novel All That I Am by Australian author Anna Funder.
