Fulton, Missouri: Westminster College is home to "Breakthrough," a Berlin Wall monument consisting of eight segments, two of which look like a human punched a hole through them. It's the brainchild of Edwina Sandys, granddaughter to Winston Churchill, who
delivered his famous "Iron Curtain" speech at the school in 1946.
"I had always wanted to make a sculpture for the Churchill Memorial at Westminster, and this seemed the perfect moment to do something," Sandys said, according to the
Churchill Museum website. "Friends in Berlin had come back with tiny little pieces of wall, and I thought, 'Wouldn't it be great to make a sculpture?' I thought I'd better go straight (to Berlin) while there was some wall left."
Officials liked the idea of a Berlin Wall monument at the site of the Iron Curtain speech and let her choose eight sections to donate to Westminster College. She chose ones from near the Brandenburg Gate because of their colorful graffiti, especially the segment marked "Uhwahr" ("untrue" in German).
