It is a complete myth that Hitler was a Jew. He was not, nor did he have Jewish parents. There are various false assertions about Hitler that have been spread over the years, but this one is the most puzzling, since there is no evidence that Hitler was in any way Jewish.

As for why he killed the Jews, many books have been written and many theories have been expressed about why this one man held so much hatred and prejudice (and not just towards Jews-- in addition to the millions of Jews who died because of his policies, he also ordered the deaths of people who were mentally retarded or blind or deaf as well as political dissenters and those who refused to join the Nazi party); no answer is entirely satisfactory, but suffice it to say that Hitler found a scapegoat in the Jews, and he then used his powers of persuasion to convince ordinary Germans that eradicating the Jews would solve Germany's problems. (It is also a myth that Germany's problems were caused by the Jews, but Hitler was able to make that case, and six million Jews died as a result.)
