They weren't hit by WWII, Nazism is not a tragedy for them, so why should they care?

It's simply historically significant. If an American bought the Mona Lisa and declared that he intended to eat it I'm sure there'd be plenty of outcry even though Leonardo da Vinci wasn't American.

Better analogy is inside the publication as a quote of Aldo Lamorte, a member of parliament with the president’s conservative National Party:

“The Roman Coliseum was NOT destroyed because Christians were killed there.”
