Most of the stories about young Hitler living in poverty and hardship in Vienna are ultimately based on what he wrote about his early years in "Mein Kampf". It's not surprising that biographers such as Alan Bullock and Ian Kershaw show that what Hitler wrote about his time in Vienna is almost completely untrue. He managed to get various female members of his family to give him a regular allowance and he didn't suffer hardship. He led a disorganized, chaotic, lazy life. After his first rejection from Art Academy, he did nothing to prepare for his next attempt and paid no attention to advice.

Why did Hitler hate Jews specifically?

Judaism is a belief, not a race. You can be any race and still be Jewish. But it was believed at the time that being Jewish was a race because they had a distinctive look (curly hair, big nose). At the time of Hitler becoming the fuhrer of Germany, Germany was in a depression and Hitler felt that because Jews usually worked in the accounting/banking field that they were to blame. He believed in a full aryan world but his biggest enemies in his eyes were the Jews. Disabled (mentally or physically imperfect), philosphers, artists, Gypsies and more were also killed. If you're wondering "why didn't he kill black people as well?" well the answer is that there just wasn't that many in Germany.
