"Hitler said he first became an anti-Semite in Vienna, which had a large Jewish community, including Orthodox Jews who had fled the pogroms in Russia. According to childhood friend August Kubizek, however, Hitler was a "confirmed anti-Semite" before he left Linz. Vienna at that time was a hotbed of traditional religious prejudice and 19th century racism. Hitler may have been influenced by the writings of the ideologist and anti-Semite Lanz von Liebenfels and polemics from politicians such as Karl Lueger, founder of the Christian Social Party and Mayor of Vienna, the composer Richard Wagner, and Georg Ritter von Schönerer, leader of the pan-Germanic Away from Rome! movement. Hitler claims in Mein Kampf that his transition from opposing antisemitism on religious grounds to supporting it on racial grounds came from having seen an Orthodox Jew.
There were very few Jews in Linz. In the course of centuries the Jews who lived there had become Europeanised in external appearance and were so much like other human beings that I even looked upon them as Germans. The reason why I did not then perceive the absurdity of such an illusion was that the only external mark which I recognized as distinguishing them from us was the practice of their strange religion. As I thought that they were persecuted on account of their faith my aversion to hearing remarks against them grew almost into a feeling of abhorrence. I did not in the least suspect that there could be such a thing as a systematic antisemitism. Once, when passing through the inner City, I suddenly encountered a phenomenon in a long caftan and wearing black side-locks. My first thought was: Is this a Jew? They certainly did not have this appearance in Linz. I carefully watched the man stealthily and cautiously but the longer I gazed at the strange countenance and examined it feature by feature, the more the question shaped itself in my brain: Is this a German?
If this account is true, Hitler apparently did not act on his new belief. He often was a guest for dinner in a noble Jewish house, and he interacted well with Jewish merchants who tried to sell his paintings.
Hitler may also have been influenced by Martin Luther's On the Jews and their Lies. In Mein Kampf, Hitler refers to Martin Luther as a great warrior, a true statesman, and a great reformer, alongside Wagner and Frederick the Great. Wilhelm Röpke, writing after the Holocaust, concluded that "without any question, Lutheranism influenced the political, spiritual and social history of Germany in a way that, after careful consideration of everything, can be described only as fateful."
Hitler claimed that Jews were enemies of the Aryan race. He held them responsible for Austria's crisis. He also identified certain forms of Socialism and Bolshevism, which had many Jewish leaders, as Jewish movements, merging his antisemitism with anti-Marxism. Later, blaming Germany's military defeat in World War I on the 1918 revolutions, he considered Jews the culprits of Imperial Germany's downfall and subsequent economic problems as well."

He, like many Christians of that era, hated the Jews. They provided a scapegoat for whenever someone was needed to take the blame for anything from unemployment to why they lost WW1.
Because he was a cunt.
Christianity fostered a great hatred for the Jews. Some folks ran with it.
During that time there was a general dislike for the Jews through-out a range of different countries, America included. But Hitler being the crazy, idiolistic guy he was, though that this justified genocide. Much like European's committed genocide on the native American population, as well as the aboriganie population in Australia, Both acts make Hitlers slaughter of the Jews look like child's play...
There is a Rumour that Hitler's particular dislike for the Jews, stemmed from his youth, where He was trying to get his Artwork put into a gallery, owned by a Jew who told him that he wasn't talented enough to be an artist. (Have you ever seen any of Hitler's paintings? - He was actually pretty awesome)
Hitler didn't have only Jews killed, any other 'impure' ethnic group, the mentally handicapped, homosexuals, and the politically out of favor were also sent to their deaths.
After their defeat in WWI the German people were looking for anyone or anything on which to blame their problems. Jews have historically been viewed as outsiders since they had no home country and largely maintained their own ethic identity instead of blending in to the local population. Jews were often affluent business owners or otherwise successful people highly visible in their communities. The reason Hitler chose the Jews may not be entirely clear, but they were a convenient target Hitler used to aim any problems the German people had. Racism was common at that time in general, and Hitler subscribed to the idea of a pure, Aryan, master race.
he had a dream!
He was stupid, he was after something that many leaders before him couldn't find.
Because Hitler was a psychopathic, racist lunatic.
Probably for the same reason that Israel has killed so many Palestinians since 1948
BECAUSE THEY WERE THE EASIEST TO GRAB AND HITLER HATED JEWS...BUT LETS NOT FORGET "JEWS" WERE NOT THE ONLY ONES HE KILLED IN CAMPS
He wanted to blame others for his problems and felt that they needed to be eliminated to make himself feel superior over others. He was a remorseless psychopath like to Amadinijad of Iran.
To give Zionists, the creators of Israel, a reason to dominate the world in the upcoming century. It is also claimed that Zionists were the supporters of Hitler's actions.
the jews all of history have been just a tricking and a stealing and backstabing ,no morals just a very very nasty crew, so hitler said thats a psychopthic people, we must protect the normal. normies lost, american and english psychopaths won, if hitlrer won it would have been the last war, cause he was just a killing them there psychopathic scum,. look up psychopath you will see how truly tricked you have become,
he considered them impure
loose cannon, bloodlust, and lack of direction.
He wanted to create a "perfect" race, which was blond hair and blue eyes.
Poor Jews get the blame for everything. Ha.
He was able to see future only the reason.
The Jews at that time were not looked upon favorably by many people, but Hitler was a maniacal sociopath and took it to a whole other level. The unfortunate thing is that he was extremely charismatic and got a whole army to follow him.
because he was twisted,insane and he needed something to hate also because he was an asshole
