> you're one of those people who thinks there are no more nazis since World War 2 ended
So you make up an impossible straw man -- there are zero nazis after WWII, then argue with that strawman.
My guess, you crave power, you love holding power over people. Burning a dead artist's work has nothing to do with any vitreous goal, but to feed a darkness in your soul you won't even acknowledge is there. You haven't, as social scientists describe 'integrated your shadow.'
Instead of destroying a piece of history, you could get mad that Jon Stewart gave a medal at Disney world to a Ukrainian Nazi with a black sun tattoo. Or that the USA is funding Ukrainian nazis like the Azov Battalion. 100% chance you won't care, there won't even be the tiniest fucking droplet of sincerity when it comes to this issue -- at all, if you can't even stop salivating over flamethrowing a painting, then killing Russians (an enemy tribe) is going to give you an erection the size of mount Everest.

Cathartic is a weird notion considering this is happening only after the people who fought nazis and survived the Holocaust are mostly all dying off

I understand Nazis burned books in accordance with their values, burning their own books would be absolute absurdism. Thats what dumb humans always do. Its what christians did to the pagans, what the pagans did to carthage, etc. They did so publicly because it appeals to the dark heart of man -- the craving to see your opponents works fall into ash.
> and is performance art in opposition to nazis
the Nazi regime fell 75 years ago. “Opposition” to the most hated and despised regime which ever existed is like performance art against cannibalism. We live in a world where people can’t even have a small mustache anymore.

Nazis took books, they put them on a pyre and burned them in a theatrical display. As you say it was a performance art to make a powerful statement. You can justify it however you like, but it reeks of the same dark impulse. And all you have to do is — not — burn artwork to ash.
