To Angel Eyes: Hitler was an altar boy as a youth. His parents were Roman Catholics, so it is highly unlikely he was Jewish!!! There have been theories that his grandfather with the last name of Schickelgruber was a Jew, but that has been debunked.
Anti-semitism in Europe and Germany goes back a thousand years. The short answer is many Germans, Hitler among them believed Jews in Germany were responsible for the capitulation of the Imperial German forces. Jews, among others, were leaders in banking, industry, and law. He believed they "stabbed Germany in the back."

It wouldn't have mattered how much Hitler himself hated the Jews, if the German people hadn't felt quite a bit that way already. You can't whip up national hatred like that from nothing - there had to be some of it among ordinary Germans to start with.

No one really knows although there were a ton of theories. His mother Jewish and some believe it was hate against her. Others think that the Jewish were just a great scapegoat in order to restore the country to its formal power.
There is a really good question there about whether Hitler was a genius or a complete retard.

Anti-Semitism was pretty popular in europe at that time. What you may be looking for is that Hitler was rejected from an art school. Some of the faculty there, it is claimed, were Jewish. I know he was rejected from the school but I do not know for sure if it has been proven that some faculty there were Jewish.

anti semitism was prevalent during the 1880's-1914 in austria and germany. once the unbeatable german army lost the war someone had to be blamed. since germany was not invaded andsurrendered from within so who else could it be but the historical enemy of germany the jews. they were blamed for all the economic ill in the country at that time so that is why he blamed them on his rise to power
