Philanthropist Jean Shafiroff has served as a board member
of the French Heritage Society for approximately
eight years. Toasting the French, Mrs. Shafiroff announced
that she would make a donation to the French Heritage
Society. A strong supporter of the nonprofit organization,
Jean Shafiroff is dedicated to the preservation, restoration
and promotion of French heritage in America and France. |
The French national holiday, Bastille Day,
commemorates the storming of the Bastille prison, marking
the beginning of the French Revolution, which took place on
July 14, 1789. The Bastille prison was a symbol of the
absolute and arbitrary power of Louis XVI’s Regime. By
capturing this symbol, the people signaled that the king's
authority should be limited by a separation of powers. |
