The economic situation of Germany. Not only did Hitler prey on the poverty of the German people, he also gave them someone to blame for that poverty. That blame turned to hate and of course who he put the blame on were the Jewish people. It's much easier to blame and hate then to figure out ways to just get yourself out of a situation and help yourself.

Mostly the humiliating defeat of WW1. Hitler brought a sense of hope to the German people. This answer is overly simplified.
