The soon-to-be published novel The Fifth Son shifts the focus from survivors to children of survivors—a shift catalyzed by Professor Wiesel’s students at CCNY, and brought to a new level by a large 1984 gathering of survivor’s children. These children are dedicated to building but not by way of vengeance, which would demean the nature of the event. The Passover Haggadah’s four sons provides the starting point but the new novel adds the fifth: “And you shall teach your children. But how does one teach tears and agony to children? How can one teach history when the teaching itself lies beyond history?” In terms of priorities, Jews and Israel come first but that does not mean ignoring the plight of the rest of the world, including undertaking dangerous journeys to help the oppressed Indians of Honduras. Yet with our books and our tradition of study, Jews may teach the world the art of morality, for without it, survival would be meaningless.
