Europe was going through an economic depression and the Jews were made scapegoats.

He was playing on preexisting prejudices against a people who were long hated in Europe well before he and his cohorts took power. Anti-Semitism in Europe is as old as Christianity is. When you take into account the economic depression that Germany went under after WWI, a common hatred of Jews was a tool that Hitler was able to use to solidify an increasingly disenfranchised and fractured Germany. Nothing brings people together better than a common enemy. Nothing better distracts people from their own misery, than to foist misery onto others.

There's a theory that he had a jewish relative that he found out about when he was an adult. I think jews were just a convenient scapegoat to use when he was trying to rally the masses behind his fascist views. Fascists always need an enemy to focus on. Mussolini in Italy did the same thing. Also- Germany lost World War I which created a lot of unemployment, poverty , etc. and Hitler could point the finger at jews as being more successful at the expense of their non-jewish neighbors. Hitler probably also had a personality disorder...

He hated Jewish people because in the first world war, Germany had lost it and there were many Jewish people around that time, therefore he started to blame them for the defeat and gave them the worst possible torture any human on this earth could bear.

Though he had Jewish heritage, Hitler exploited the rampant (and still very present) anti-Semitism in Europe and especially in Germany, to rally a poor, beaten and vengeful German populace against an internal enemy. The propaganda against, forced dehumanization and eventual murder of German Jewry was conducted by Goebbels and Eichmann and others who did Hitler's bidding. Hitler rallied Germans against this purported internal 'scourge' and propped up nationalist zealotry to invigorate the masses to support ALL his aims (including the subjugation and conquer of the Slavic people as well).
Hitler was stricken by syphillis in 1908. By the late 1930's, this disease had really corrupted his mental faculties and did little to help him understand the magnitude of the Holocaust on both his ability to win the war, and the tragic human cost his crazed visions would exact on the German AND Jewish population in Germany, let alone the rest of the world.
Hitler made hate and vengeance acceptable and even patriotic in Germany. He rallied his supporters around his cause, and then abused that power due to several reasons, but mostly attributed to a disease ridden mind.
What we can learn is that hatred and ostracizing of an entire RACE or RELIGION is almost always detrimental to ALL of mankind. I make a caveat here, because several 'faiths' are premised on violent and fanatical devotion and practice, much like the fervor for the Fuhrer demonstrated in Germany was a sort of fanatical 'faith'. The danger with fanaticism and violent application of faith is that it dehumanizes, and results in responses that are specifically counter-intuitive for the faith itself, mainly annihilation. This is why Islam is in great danger of being globally labeled a 'violent' religion. There is no need to defend with violence that which is by nature peaceful and productive. Hitler's attempt to defend the honor of the Deutscheland by executing violence on others was a poor and costly calculation. Radical Islam's attempt to defend the honor of Muslims by executing violence on others is also a poor and costly gambit that will see all Muslims potentially pay a heavy toll. Let's hope it never comes to that.

Much of it goes farther back than Hitler. KKK has much hatred for Jews before Hitler began his crusade, in fact Hitler was in hopes support would come from the likes around the world to support his annihilation.

Germany was in economic decline and the Jewish culture continued to thrive throughout the period. Hitler was a big "Aryan" nation believer and wanted to re-create the perfect "human" race, (he believed it originated from the myth of Atlantis and searched for Atlantis and it's descendent's throughout WW2. He believed he found them in Tibet.) he did not believe that the Jewish culture was part of that "plan."

I am not sure but here is a speech given by a prominant Jew back in 1960. Alot of what he says can be applied to today, but it will give you history that the story books don't tell you. http://www.rense.com/general34/amaz.htm

sorry you will have to do your own homework.
I think he needed a scape goat for the terrible economy in Germany at the time. The Jews have been looked at with hate for centuries. At one time they were outlawed from owning property so they invested their time and money into business and then were hated for owning so many banks and other business
No facts or dates SORRY
