Generally speaking it is not surprising that Hitler was antisemitic, since many Germans/Austrians were and in fact most of Europe has a history of antisemitism going back for centuries, especially, in my opinion, Germany and Poland. During the great plague of the 14th century many Jews were killed and burned in Germany because they were blamed for the plague.
Individually speaking I have read that Hitler's father was illegitimate and that his father's mother had been a maid for a wealthy Jewish family at the time she became pregnant and there was a rumor/belief that the man of the family was Hitler's father's father and that therefore Hitler, who leaned toward antisemitism because of his environment, became even more antisemitic.
He was also rejected as a student at the prestigious Vienna Art School, which had Jewish artists and professors on staff and he blamed them for his rejection. I'm sure the list for personal reasons could go on, but basically Hitler was the kind of person who always had to blame someone else for his failures, and, like the Germans who blamed the Jews for the plague, he blamed the Jews for everything.

There is a story that as a young child Hitler went to a Jewish Doctor as his Mother was ill; the Doctor treated his mother and left.
A short time later, Hitlers mother died. It was Hitlers intent, it is said, that he advise the Doctor his mother had died; however, Neither Hitler or his family held any blame for her death; upon Hitler advising the Doctor about his mothers death, the Doctor demanded payment right away and took no time to listen to what Hitler had to say.

Read the book: The life and Death of Adolf Hitler by Robert Payne 445-08254-195.
Point 1. Many Europeans carried a traditional hatred of the Jewish Race, it stems from being taught for centurys by the Christian Churches that the Jews were responsible for the death of Jesus Christ. (remember the Roman Governer P. Pilate asked the assembled crowd "Who do you want freed Barabus the thief and murder, or Jesus Christ? the king of the Jews? the crowd responded Barabus, as many orthadox jews believed that Jesus Christ was not the true Son of God as claimed).
Hitlers mother never worked for the Rothchilds.
Also Hitler or to give him his true name Schicklgruber was born and raised in Austria.
On the 21st of December1889 Hitlers mother Klara died after suffering from Cancer, she had an operation but the tumour was malignant, the family Dr. was Jewish, and a few days after the funeral, Adolf, Alois and Paula Hitler called on Dr. Bloch to thank him for what he had done and pay the medical bill, before they left Hitler told the doctor " I shall be grateful to you forever."
While living in Vienna he got interested in the politics of Dr. Karl Lueger & the Christian Socialist Party and joined the anti-Semetic League.
After WW1 there was a very strong anti-Jewish feeling, the Jews were blamed for taking all their money out of Prussia and Austria causing an economic collapse, which they also claimed caused the Germans to loose the First World War.
Adolf Hitlers rants against the Jews and Communists help formulate a strong attraction to the people of the impovrished working classes.
There is much more connected to this situation but it would take days to put it all here.

Hitler loved Jews absolutely to death. How old are you anyway and on what deserted island have you been living until now. Borderline anti-Jewish? he was a raving lunatic.

I read that his mother was servant in house of Rothschild.
Also his History professor was Anti Semite and teach kids to hate Jewish. In that time Jewish were rich and had good positions, since German hard worked for little money. Hitler just presented momentaly feelings of Germans, if Hitler didn't exsist,Germans founded some one other, he was not alone, with him was near whole German nation.

Because he thought Jewish people had superior brains and actually they did have. Jewish people are supposed to be very clever and intelligent. (FYI, most of the Nobel Prize winners are Jewish people.) So, Hitler wanted to get rid of those people. This is what I have read of.

THE JEWISH PEOPLE IN GERMANY WERE ,AT THE TIME OF HITLER, IN VERY GOOD POSITIONS AND THEY WERE ALL RICH AND BECAUSE OF THEIR ABILITY PROSPERED LIKE ANYTHING.HITLER THOUGHT IN HIS OWN COUNTRY, THE GERMANS ARE IN UNIMPORTANT POSITIONS AND HAD NO SAY IN SOCIETY.
INSTEAD OF COMPETING WITH BRAIN AND SURPASSING THEM, HE THOUGHT IT BEST TO SEE THAT THEY ARE NOT THERE .THIS IS A MENTAL ABERRATION.SO HE HATED JEWS AND YOU KNOW THE REST OF THE HISTORY.

He was not anti jewish rather he was killing great conspirators & coincidentally all were Jews. Whatever Massacre was reported was highly exaggerated as told by highly learned Iran's president , much more learned & talented than G. Bush of U.S.A. In Korean war 3 million people were killed. In 1947 , five million Muslims were killed in organized manner, particularly in Punjab , Bihar & Jammu Zone by Hindu rightists of that time. In Iraq & Afghanistan millions of innocent civilians have been killed by westerners like Americans, Russians & other Europeann countries. Acoording to people of Kashmir 7,00,000 local civilian Muslims have been illegally killed by 12,00,000 Indian army in last 18 years only because they are struggling to get thier overdue right of self determination(which was never given) which they are asking to be given since 1947, if all local people are to be believed , of which 99.99% are against India.
