Like many of the German people, especially those in the military (he was a soldier) he believed that the Germans lost WWI because of a "stab in the back" from civilian Germans- specifically the middle class. A fair portion of the middle class was Jews, and he already had a dislike of Jews because he had been rejected from the Vienna art school was had lots of Jews teaching/working there. He needed some sort of internal scapegoat that was not the military to get the German people to follow him as he came to power. Also, the Nazi party (which he joined and later moved into leadership) was very anti-communist and many Jews were commies.

Hitler grow up determined to become an artist but was rejected at the college level by a Jewish Professor and Hitler never got over it some said.
That may have been a start along with the loath of immigrant scab labour, orthodox Jewish attire and quasi unkempt appearance,Jewish motivated Capitol ism, and the fact that by blaming Jews they could confiscating their wealth. At long last Hitler promoted Supremacist views and the pure German race and Catholic Germans bought it in the Armageddon context!

Hitler grew up at a time where the Jews were blamed for everything, they taught that they were responsible for all there problems and by extention the world. So hitler, now realizing that used that as a catalist to do his horrific acts; that is the Holocast the worst genocide in history.

This is a very complex topic, but if you look at a lot of Nazi propaganda, it is based on Jews being responsible for Germany's economic problems because of the racist myth that Jews are the world's bankers. Because of the reparations Germany was required to pay after WW1, and the US stock market crash leading to the Depression which had knock-on effects in Europe, Germany endured a period of hyper-inflation and extreme poverty for many people. Hitler capitalised on this period of economic disaster to rally people to his extremist vision, and he saw the Jews - who had been stereotyped as greedy, avaricious moneylenders since at least the Middle Ages (think of Shylock in Shakespeare's The Merchant of Venice) - as the ideal scapegoat.
The reason that this was so successful was the there was already a rising tide of anti-Semitism in Eastern Europe, leading to pogroms (ethnic cleansing) of Jewish settlements in Poland and Russia.

Hitler was 1/4 Jewish. His mother was a Jewish house servant. Hitler of course could not bear the thought of his ancestry so he blamed the Jews for the reason that Germany lost the WW1 and blamed them for the reason Germany was suffering. His ideas of killing all the European Jews led to WW2 and the Holocaust. Hitler originally wanted to be an artist however his work was rejected and he didn't get into college. His older brother ran away at 14 so from age 9-16 Hitler was the brunt of his father's rage meaning his father used to beat him. His mother kept a tight hold on him and refused to let him out of her sight until she had another son and daughter. Sadly his mother died. Hitler was devoted to his mother and let the doctor who did everything to save her (he was Jewish) to live. Hitler ran away from home at 16 but paid for his sister to live.

Germany was recovering from WW1 and adolf itler came itno power and said that without certain groups of people Jews, handicaps, and others their country would be in much better shape. That's why lots of people didn't stop his logic made sense to them the way he said it.
In a few words, he blamed everything on the Jews.

Hitler always had a hate for the Jews, and he blamed his failure on the Jews...right before he committed suicide he had blamed the Jews for everything that went wrong in his life. I dont know why, but I guess he felt he had to blame some one, so why not the guys he hates?

Hitler co-opted the common peoples hate for the Jews into his political platforms. He did not really believe in the master race theories. His power arose from him letting people out on a long leash. Their competition with other power hungry people kept them in check. Some of his followers were rabid anti Semites and Hitler allowed them latitude in their persecutions as a "reward" for their loyalty. Don't get me wrong; Hitler was no saint, but he didn't believe his own propaganda.

He blamed the troubles of the world on the Jews. He even blamed them for Communism because a Jew (Karl Marx) started the movement.

Hitler promoted the idea that Aryans, specifically Germanic peoples were a Super-Race, and all other people were inferior to them, and should be exerminated...
However, you should ask your teacher to repeat what they said, and if you still don't understand, ask them to explain further...
