Why did the Nazis have such hatred towards Jews?

• But Hitler is actually a really clever guy, which i have learnt from studying history. Why only jews in particular?

• Hitler's passion for antisemitism was something more than just his upbringing. There is little indication in his correspondance or his friend's and relative's memories that he strongly believed in a Jewish plot to destroy Germany until 1919. Part of his antisemitism in this case is psychological, news of the war's end-Germany's loss came to Hitler when he was half blind in Pasewalk hospital, which would have increased the blow. Ludendorff's "stab in the back theory" had a big impact on Hitler (what soldier wouldn't be influenced by his top commander?), and the Jewish involvement in the communist uprisings and the later hated Weimar Republic would have cemented this in Hitler's mind. For a guy who was a homeless failure before the war, a hero during it, and probably would return to the homeless failure, unless he did something, Hitler would have been looking for someone to blame. ***stab in the back' theory is, a belief that the Jews were to blame for the German loss in the Great War.
