Wiki - The paradox of tolerance states that if a society is tolerant without limit, its ability to be tolerant is eventually ceased or destroyed by the intolerant. Karl Popper described it as the seemingly self-contradictory idea that in order to maintain a tolerant society, the society must retain the right to be intolerant of intolerance.

Are you saying that interwar Germany was a tolerant society?

They were pretty tolerant of Aryans and other who accepted the "social contract". It was only those who "refused the social contract" that they really had a problem with. But we've decided that it's OK to be intolerant toward those who refuse the contract.
