Personally, I don't think it makes any difference at all. But it is likely to annoy the poster of the OP.
Hitler's maternal grandmother, Johanna Pölzl (born Hiedler), was not jewish.

The question of Hitler's jewish ancestry was raised after the war by Hans Frank, German lawyer and member of the Nazi party. He claimed that Alois Hitler's (Adolf's father) biological father was Leopold Frankenberger, whom he also claimed was jewish. Alois' mother Maria Schicklgruber, according to Hans Frank, worked for Frankenberger in Graz for a time and became pregnant by him. Professor Sir Ian Kershaw disproved this theory by pointing out three points. First, all Jews had been expelled from Graz in the 15th century, and had only been allowed to return in the 1860s. Alois was born in 1837. Secondly, the is no documented evidence that Maria ever lived in Graz. Finally, there is no documented evidence of a Jew by the name of Frankenberger in Europe during the 19th century.

Alios Hitler's father was either one of two brothers; Johann Georg Hiedler (who eventually became his legal father and who many historians believe was he real father) or Johann Nepomuk Hiedler.
