%X Dan Pagis (1930-1986), the Romanian born Israeli poet and Holocaust survivor, is best known for his short, concentrated and multilayered Holocaust poem ¡°Written in Pencil in the Sealed Railway-Car¡±. This unfinished poem which carries a universal message with Biblical allusions to Adam and Eve and Cain and Abel invites its readers to complete Eve¡¯s hanging and unarticulated message and to transmit it to others. Silence is Pagis¡¯ way of communicating the unspeakable, the ineffable. This is a highly expressive silence that speaks louder and deeper than words do. This paper analyzes Pagis¡¯ poem in the context of Adorno¡¯s statement that ¡°there can be no poetry after Auschwitz¡±
