Rudy

Before his death at fourteen, Rudy has met his goal. Not only has he become a really smart kid, but he’s also great athlete. He grown as a result of his efforts to balance staying alive and resisting the injustices he sees around him. A horrible lesson is learned when this resistance wavers, and ego takes over. To show off to his new Hitler Youth leaders and to show everybody that he’s becoming a success, he wins too many races at the Hitler Youth carnival.
