His father was a half Jew. According to Alice Miller "In her youth, 
his paternal grandmother had been employed in a Jewish merchant's 
household in Graz. After her return home to the Austrian village of 
Braunau, she gave birth to a son, Alois, later to become Hitler's 
father, and received child-support payments from the family in Graz 
for fourteen years." (Paths of Life, p. 159) Miller goes on to 
explain the effect this connection had for Alois and for Adolf. 

BTW, I seem to remember someone (an Amy?) saying they would like to 
understand how Hitler became Hitler. You might want to read Alice 
Miller's answer to this question. I think, but I'm not sure, that her 
essay on Hitler is in "For Your Own Good: The Roots of Violence in 
Child-rearing".
