That's unfortunately the only information available here. There probably isn't any deep or interesting reason why Hitler hated Jews. Lots of people did back then, especially if they were socialist. It's much less famous, but Marx also hated them with a vengeance. He saw them as the personification of capitalism and believed that under communism they would be wiped out. From his essay "On the Jewish question": "What is the worldly religion of the Jew? Huckstering. What is his worldly God? Money [...] An organization of society which would abolish the preconditions for huckstering, and therefore the possibility of huckstering, would make the Jew impossible [...] Money is the jealous god of Israel, in face of which no other god may exist. Money degrades all the gods of man – and turns them into commodities [...] The bill of exchange is the real god of the Jew. His god is only an illusory bill of exchange [...] The chimerical nationality of the Jew is the nationality of the merchant, of the man of money in general." This sort of language was nothing special in that era. The association of Judaism with money making and capitalism goes back thousands of years. Hitler was directly inspired by Marx so it's perhaps not a surprise that he adopted similar views. Hitler said in 1934: "National Socialism derives from each of the two camps the pure idea that characterizes it, national resolution from bourgeois tradition; vital, creative socialism from the teaching of Marxism."
