Anything Holocaust related makes me cry or at the very least makes me tear up. I think it would be unfair to those authors and to their stories if I were to say which one was the most tragic.
@Darla Even with the fictional Holocaust books I find it hard to pick which one is good or more tragic. I am not sure if I am the only one who has that problem? I did cry at one because of how the book was written in such poor taste. It was a Harlequin romance where a young Jewess who suffered through all this abuse fell in love with one of the Nazis that guarded the very concentration camp she was at, but the fact that I cried doesn’t mean much as I was ready to tear that book page by page because of just how the book was written in such poor taste.
… I should think that one can snot dripping cry can also be meant for other poorly written books that we reserve an intense hatred for? Yes? No? Maybe?

I agree that’s why I only used fictional holocaust books.

Yea I’ve a couple of those. Lol.
I cry pretty easy at books that are sad. A few I have ugly cried.
@Darla ugly cried… I actually like that term. It is very fitting for those really hideous books. 😉
Well I kind of meant snot dripping cry because it was sad.
