Sternlicht Student Companion to Elie Wiesel 2003 0313325308 p.97 "The Testament, The Fifth Son, and The Forgotten represent a chronological and thematic change in what might be called Elie Wiesel's multivolume epic of the Holocaust. With the advent of the 1970s and in these novels, Wiesel turns his attention to "the birth and growth of the second generation of survivors" (D. Stern 1990, 63) as well as to the cold war and the plight of Jews in the Soviet Union."
