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.

Rudy's activity leads to his eventual death at the hand of the Nazis.
