Why Did Hitler Hate the Jews? - The Origins of Adolf Hitler's Anti-Semitism and its Outcome

What do we really know about the sources of Adolf Hitler's anti-Semitism? What led him to become such a genocidal anti-Semite? It is often said that the strongly anti-Semitic atmosphere in pre-war Vienna, in which Hitler failed to achieve his dream of becoming an artist, was when his hatred of the Jews first began to stir.
