Breakthrough
by Edwina Sandys (Granddaughter of Winston Churchill) is constructed of eight
pieces of the Berlin Wall from near the Brandenburg Gate. The particular pieces
of the Wall were selected for their colorful graffiti and the repeated word "unwahr"
meaning lies or untruths. The location of the sculpture is on the campus of
Westminster College, where Winston Churchill gave his famous "Iron Curtain"
speech in 1946. The sculpture was dedicated by President Ronald Reagan on
November 9, 1990, one year after the fall of the Berlin Wall which occurred
November 9, 1989. For more information on the sculpture and its dedication see
