There are many reasons why he did. Some of them are to do with the background he came from and the history of Europe.
eg Hitler came from Austria. Europe had had a bad attitude to Jews from the Middle Ages onwards. They were pushed into ghettos and/or expelled from most countries several times, ostensibly because of the relationship of Judaism to Christianity, but really for economic reasons (if the King of a country borrowed money from Jewish financiers to enable him to fight a war, it was convenient to push the Jews out of his country later, to avoid paying the bill)
Hitler blamed the Jews for Germany's economic woes. It suited him to do so, as he needed a scapegoat to blame, in order to reunite Germany.
However, as Arisztid pointed out, the Jews were not the only group Hitler picked on. In his warped world view, Jews were inferior people, but so were Romany (Gypsies), Seventh Day Adventists, the handicapped and anyone who stood up against him and defended the groups above.
