Not JUST Jews, anyone who wasn't a pure cenral European Aryan. The Jews were his most frequent target, since they were easily identified and who were perceived as "different" because of their practices. Hitler killed the Jews to fund his war, but he also wanted to take over Europe to allow Aryans to expand.

∙ 7y agoHitler wanted to blame someone for the economic destruction of WWI. The Jews seemed fit to blame, so Hitler blamed them, although it was not the Jews fault. This is not completely true, he wanted a reason for the economic failure (Great Depression). WWII didn't start until the German army invaded Poland. Although it is correct, it wasn't the Jews fault.Hitler was extremely antisemitic. Many Europeans were, however, genocide was only the solution of a madman such as Hitler.

Fortunately he did not wipe out the Jews - though he killed some 6 million people of who most were Jewish. Initially the Nazis were quite keen to rid Germany of the Jews by emigration, but then steadily made this more and more difficult.
Hitler regarded Jews, gypsies, blacks and homosexuals as the "untermenchen" - sub-humans tainting his imagined pure Aryan race he thought the birth-right of Germans and indeed of other NW Europeans. He also concocted the idea that the Jews were responsible for the humiliation and near-bankruptcy of Germany by her defeat in WW1. Aryan was originally a genuine, innocent racial name but its misappropriation by Hitler destroyed it; and such people, typified by Scandinavians, are now generally called Caucasian. (The Swastika was originally a very widely used religious or ornamental, peaceful, symbol; but it too still suffers from the National Socialist taint, even though the Nazis reversed it from its normal rotation.)
These two ideas found favour in a broken country trying to rebuild itself, especially when it became clear that opposing Hitler was dangerous anyway; and his extreme anti-Semitism became a near mass-hysteria whose first open demonstration was 'Kristallnacht', one night in which Jewish businesses throughout Germany were attacked, their libraries burnt, etc.
The racial motive also used a cruel pseudo-science prevalent in the early-20C, and called Eugenics. This advocated selectively breeding "perfect" humans - define "perfect". The Nazis tried it in occupied Norway, by fostering liaisons between German troops and Scandinavian women. Perhaps the worst of that was the appalling treatment of many of the resulting "lebensraum" children by their (step-)parents or other guardians, in Norway, after the War.

Why did the Nazis want to exterminate whole populations?
The Nazis felt their race was superior to everyone elses
Why did Hitler and the Nazis party hate the Jews to the point of planning to exterminate the entire Jewish race?
They did not plan to exterminate all Jews, just those living within their reach. Whether or not they hated them is irrelevant, what matters is that they did not want Jews in their society. The reasons for this was that they saw Jews as a threat to national security. They thought that Jews had an allegiance first to their faith rather than to the state. Most of the other reasons stem from this, they thought that Jews were more interested in making money than helping the state and that Jews were in charge of certain industries and banking, also and juxtaposed to this that they spread communism.

Why were European Jews denied their legal and constitutional protections in the period 1933-1945?
