A gift from
Tsereteli and the Russian people, the memorial is made of steel
sheathed in bronze. Standing 100 feet high, its center contains
a jagged tear. In it, hangs a 40-foot stainless steel teardrop,
representing sadness and grief over the loss of life, but also
hope for a future free from terror. Etched in granite on an
11-sided base are the names of the nearly 3,000 killed in the
1993 World Trade Center bombings and terrorist attacks on Sept.
11, 2001.
