Don't know about Europe, but here in the US, an unfortunate part of the basic culture is that people tend to spend their entire lives here going around LOOKING for reasons to be offended, and by golly, they WILL be CERTAIN to find it whether it exists or not.

Keep in mind that we in Europe still have a memory in society of nazi boots walking in our streets, ripping people out of their beds and sending them to concentration camps.

And we know there are some people in our society that are willing to pick up that ideology. A small group perhaps, but there is a subconscious fear that those will rise again in a new shape or form. It wasn't only Germans that were nazis, they were everywhere. They were among our own people too.

So, demanding respect for those memorial days is also a way to reject anyone who would play with that ideology in our own time.
