I think it first stemmed from a bad childhood experience. His mom was very ill, and was being cared for by a Jewish nurse/doctor. When the jewish caretaker was not able to save his mother, he somehow developed a hatred for jews out of this.
Site listed below lists some of the many theories of how Hitler came to hate the Jewish people.

Germany was decimated after WWII. Many of the people in Germany were poor and there were very few jobs. Many of the people who appeared well off were Jewish (at least that's how it was percieved, I'm not sure if it's acutally true). So the Jewish people were hated (by Hilter at least) because they were seen to be taking away the jobs and money from the 'German' people. This made them a scape goat for the poor condition of the German people. That hate manifested itself and led to the killings.

Hitler was facinated by the lost city of Atlantis...he concluded that the aryan race (blond hair,blue eyes) were direct decendants (the German People) Since the Jews didn't match the profile, they --and everyone else for that matter--were concidered inferior and had to be exterminated or forced into slavery for the "motherland".....Think I'm nuts?...look it up!

Germany ended WWI through the Treaty of Versailles. Instead of admitting defeat the little corporal scapegoated the Jews for this and for the world wide depression that occured after stock market crash in 1929.

He subscribed to a long history of North European anti-semitism that derived from the view that humans were divided into "races" that were essentially different & that the North European "Aryan" race was the most physically, intellectually & socially advanced. Jews were looked upon as oriental descended outsiders who refused to assimilate and "stuck together" to advance their own interests, often to the detriment of the countries in which they resided. How he personally came to view jews in this manner, he sets forth in detail in his book "Mein Kampf. "

His father was rumored to be a Jew who employed his mother as a maid and obviously as a mistress of some sort. He was born knowing he wasn't accepted by his father..

No one knows for sure, there are some rumors that he was kicked out of an art school whose principal was jewish but theres no proof of that... Really it was just because he was insane.

HE THOUGHT THEY HAD WRONGED HIM PERSONALLY WHEN HE WAS A YOUNG MAN.
HE WAS AN ATHEIST AND ALSO KILLED MANY CATHOLICS AND CHRISTIANS.
ATHEISTS LIKE HITLER, MUSSOLINI AND STALIN HAVE BEEN THE WORLD'S BIGGEST MASS MURDERERS.
