In Marcus Zukak's novel The Book Thief, Rudy Steiner behaves in a dangerous fashion. Rudy openly admires the Olympic athlete Jessie Owens, an African-American, something which goes against the white supremacy of Nazi Germany, where he lives. He becomes active in the anti-Nazi resistance movement due to his disbelief in the Nazi's racist ideology.
