Antisemitism in Zotero?

Please explain why Adolf Hitler is entered as an author of one of the articles I uploaded? And a few lines up, on an article titled "Israel in Venice" the aithor is "Destroyed". I find this very disturbing and demand an explanation. Thank you.

That's obviously just bad data extraction, in this case by Google Scholar:

https://scholar.google.com/scholar?hl=en&as_sdt=0,33&q=And+the+Award+Goes+to….:+The+Venice+Biennale+and+the+Construction+of+Global+Art+History

You can see those author entries in the Google Scholar interface that you saved from:

Thank you for clarifying. It's still very alarming that something like this happens - even in Google Scholar.

I mean, it's really not. Again, it's just a text extraction bug — it's from a line from Annie Hall quoted on the first page of the PDF. There's absolutely no meaning here.
