It seeks to show that by tracing the meanings and functions of rumours with explicitly gendered dimensions, such as the amenorrhea rumour, we can gain a deeper understanding of the gendered ways in which Jews viewed, perceived and experienced their own persecution during the Holocaust. To historicize the amenorrhea rumour and enter it into the historical record in its own right, this article demonstrates, is to write a history of amenorrhea among Jewish women in concentration camps according to what was important to – and in the very words of – the individuals who lived it. Doing so sheds new light not only on Jewish women’s experiences of the camp setting, but on how those experiences were remembered, recounted, and connected to lives lived in the Holocaust’s aftermath.
