Death in Venice (German: Der Tod in Venedig) is a novella by German author Thomas Mann, published in 1912. It presents an ennobled writer who visits Venice and is liberated, uplifted and then increasingly obsessed, by the sight of a beautiful Polish boy, Tadzio, so nicknamed for Tadeusz.

At Bebelplatz, where on 10 May 1933 the nazi book burning took place, there is a book exchange shelf dedicated to literature by and about those Jewish, pacifist, religious, classical liberal, anarchist, socialist, and communist authors whose books were burned - "das Regal der verbrannten Bücher". It is to the right of the entrance of Humboldt University's "Juristische Fakultät" (western side of Bebelplatz).
