New research finds it likely wasn't just trauma and starvation that caused 98% of women to stop menstruating upon arrival at Auschwitz, and many to later struggle with infertility

98% of women imprisoned in Nazi concentration camps during the Holocaust experienced amenorrhea, or the absence of menstruation.
