Some people say that Hitler was Jewish. Is that true?

There have been reports that Adolf Hitler may have had some connections to Judaism, and therefore he was Jewish. The irony in this is that Hitler wanted to destroy the Jewish people in Europe and attempted to accomplish this by creating the extermination camps throughout Europe.
The question about Hitler’s Jewish connections is centered on Hitler’s grandfather. Hitler’s father was born to an unknown man. His father's mother did work in the home of a wealthy Jewish person. As a result, there is a remote possibility that Hitler's grandmother might have somehow become pregnant by a son of this Jewish person.
There also is a question about Hitler’s DNA. He apparently had a gene that was uncommon in Western Europe and has been found in some Jewish people.
Both of these theories, however, are not strong enough to support the claim that Hitler was Jewish. It is generally accepted that Hitler was not Jewish.
