Eugenics is not inherently antisemitic. For example, in Britain some eugenists were very impressed with the performance of Jewish kids at school, and drew completely different conclusions. I think there is a tendency to attach undue significance to the role of ideology in this case. What's more, Jews were not widely hated in Germany, except possibly in Bavaria. Before the Nazis came to power, Jews in Germany and abroad regarded the country as a good place to live in. If the Germans had been gripped by real hatred of the Jews, there would have been no need to try to keep the Holocaust secret.

How did Hitler use eugenics to kill the Jews?

eugenics, being a theory was used to justify the persecution of the Jews, the killing was debatably a natural outcome of the Nazis' political philosophy (which included eugenics). The very same theories were being used in the US to deny Jews (and others) entry into the US, but there it did not lead to mass murder, eugenics alone can not account for the killing of the Jews.
