There is no historical evidence to assume that Hitler's family did not like Jews, His mother, Klara, even had a Jewish doctor until her death in 1907.

Whilst working as an artist in Vienna, Hitler sold his paintings through two Jewish art dealers (Jakob Altenberg and Samuel Morgenstern) as well as Joseph Neuman, who acted as Hitler's agent/seller.

According to Reinhold Hanisch, a contemporary witness and one-time business partner of Hitler's during his time in Vienna, Hitler socialised almost exclusively with Jews during this time and that his best friend was a Jewish copper polisher called Joseph Neuman. Hanisch named another Jewish friend of Hitler's (which historians have been able to confirm, using Viennese records) as the one-eyed locksmith Simon Robinsohn, from Galicia*.
