It is a paraphrase. But I believe it accurately reflects the spirit of this quote from the address:

Yeah, I still disagree with that. I'm sure the Cold War era with a split Germany and high tensions world wide would certainly qualify, unless she's lumping that in with "ww2" (which is fair from the anti-Nazi German perspective).

100% agree, was downvoted for saying so elsewhere though.
