ELI5: Apart from expanding the German empire, why did Hitler kill and target all the Jews rather than any other group?

I've always read that Hitler carried out the Holocaust because of his hate for the Jews and to expand the German empire. But why did he hate them in the first place? What fueled his hate to such an extent that he killed 6 million of them? And why did he not choose any other group?

Hitler targeted many groups. Slavs, gypsies, homosexuals, and the disabled were all systematically exterminated by the Nazis. Jews just made up a majority of those killed; six million Jews to five million non-Jews.

The reason Jews were targeted was likely because they were a relatively large and visible minority and there was already a centuries-long culture of hatred towards Jews in Europe. It wasn't difficult to convince people that Jews were evil; many already believed so.
