Hitler did not all of a sudden say, 'Hey, lets band everyone together by hating Jews.' The hatred of Jews in Europe goes all the way back to the time it became Christian. Passages in the Christian's New Testament paint "The Jews" as being the children of the devil, hypocritical, and interested only in money rather than in Gd.
Who wrote the following???
"""But since I learned that those miserable and accursed people do not cease to lure to themselves even us, that is, the Christians, I have published this little book, so that I might be found among those who opposed such poisonous activities of the Jews and who warned the Christians to be on their guard against them....Now, in order to strengthen our faith, we want to deal with a few crass follies of the Jews in their belief and their exegesis of the Scriptures, since they so maliciously revile our faith. If this should move any Jew to reform and repent, so much the better. We are now not talking with the Jews but about the Jews and their dealings, so that our Germans, too, might be informed....Our Lord also calls them a "brood of vipers"; furthermore, in John' 3:39 he states: "If you were Abraham's children would do what Abraham did.... You are of your father the devil." It was intolerable to them to hear that they were not Abraham's but the devil's children, nor can they bear to hear this today.... For they are a heavy burden, a plague, a pestilence, a sheer misfortune for our country. Proof for this is found in the fact that they have often been expelled forcibly from a country, far from being held captive in it....Therefore be on your guard against the Jews, knowing that wherever they have their synagogues, nothing is found but a den of devils in which sheer self-glory, conceit, lies, blasphemy, and defaming of God and men are practiced most maliciously and veheming his eyes on them.......but then eject them forever from this country. For, as we have heard, God's anger with them is so intense that gentle mercy will only tend to make them worse and worse, while sharp mercy will reform them but little. Therefore, in any case, away with them!"""
It was Martin Luther, one of the founders of the Protestant movement in Christianity! See:::

Remember, Germany was about one half Catholic and one half Lutheran, at the time of Hitler.

Did he hate the Jews or did the world hate the Jews and Hitler blamed the Jews for all the problems of Germany.

Hitler and the Nazi party blamed Germany's failures on a minority group, the Jews. I don't believe anger is the right word. The Jews existed in Ghettos and the Jewish culture does not match the German culture.
In America, the white supremacists blame black, Jews, and Catholics. Sound familiar?

While I can't answer that. I believe that he had to hate someone. He used this as a tool to activate a nationalism in his country, so that they would begin to follow his ways blindly.
While I do not agree, Oscar Wilde is quoted to say "Patriotism is the virtue of the vicious". But it was Hitler's blind nationalism that nearly proves his quote?
No amount hate, bigotry or racism should be considered an element of Nationalism or Patriotism.

Nobody of today really knows or understands. His hatred for non-Arians (not only for Jews) was so tremendous, that it is simply beyond understanding! But beware! That same hatred, that same believe in the "Master-race" is gaining ground again in the US!!!
Only they now think, the Americans are the "Master-race"!
Maybe only one generation from now somebody will ask: What made the Americans hate the rest of the world like that!

It was rumored that Hitler tried to attend an art school(he was a painter once) and the people responsible for not granting him entry were Jewish. He just wanted to blame others for his shortcomings just like any person who is racist. Also, he really believed that Germans are the master race and every other race was inferior. What is ironic historians have proved that he had Jewish relatives.

Hitler had long-standing view that the Jews were the great enemy of the German people and that Lebensraum was needed for the expansion of Germany. He thought that they were leech, that they were responsible for German people's troubles. They were successful in most of their jobs and many others were jealous at them.
Germany was having a rough time, and needed to get out from this crisis. They were looking for a scapegoat and Hitler found it.
It was kind of a victory for them. Through the murder Germany got stronger.
Sad but true!
And the rest is history:
He focused on Eastern Europe for removing or killing the Jews and Slavs. The Generalplan Ost called for deporting the population of occupied Eastern Europe for use as slave labour or to be murdered. By January 1942, it had been decided to kill the Jews, Slavs, and other deportees considered undesirable.
The Holocaust was ordered by Hitler and organised and executed by Heinrich Himmler and Reinhard Heydrich. Hitler was recorded saying, "we shall regain our health only by eliminating the Jews", his public speeches, orders to his generals, and the diaries of Nazi officials demonstrate that he conceived and authorised the extermination of European Jewry. He built several camps devoted exclusively to extermination.
He was responsible for the deaths of at least eleven million people, including 5.5 to six million Jews (representing two-thirds of the Jewish population of Europe). Deaths took place in concentration and extermination camps, ghettos, and through mass executions. Many victims of the Holocaust were gassed to death, whereas others died of starvation or disease or while working as slave.

Not sure. Looking at what Family Guy tells us it's because a strong Jew, who the ladies liked laughed at him while he was trying to get buff. So he's jealous.
But if we look at the works of South Park, we see him throwing snowballs at jews as a child......therefore......I don't know.
