Fasia Jansen (June 6, 1929 - December 29, 1997) was a German political singer-songwriter (Liedermacher) and peace activist.
Growing up in the working-class neighborhood of Rothenburgsort in Hamburg, Jansen went through the problems of being an obviously "non-Aryan" during the Nazi era.
[2][3] The fifteen-year-old Jansen experienced both the brutality of the SS and the desperation of the prisoners - experiences that had a decisive impact on her life.
In the fledgling German Federal Republic, Jansen tried to come to terms with her experiences in the camp and to keep alive the memory of the dead and their ideals.
She performed at numerous Easter marches (Ostermarsch [de]) for peace,[4] among others in 1966 together with Joan Baez, played at the major strikes in front of the factory gates of Krupp, Hoesch or Thyssen and at the UN World Women's Conference in Nairobi and performed at the Burg Waldeck Festivals [de].
