Biography Born into an old and wealthy Zamoyski family, Stefan Adam was the eldest son of Count Wladyslaw Zamoyski (1873-1944) and his wife, Marie Mezynska (1878-1956). He had a degree of Doctor of Law. He was owner of estates in Wysock. Lt.-Col. Count Stefan Zamoyski served as an aide-de-camp to Polish Prime Minister-in-exile Wladislaw Sikorski in London. In December 1940, Lt.-Col. Zamoyski wrote to the head of RAF Bomber Command, requesting that the German concentration camp Auschwitz be bombed to allow the Polish political prisoners imprisoned there at the time to escape. The RAF declined to act. Following World War II, Zamoyski remained in Britain. He worked at the Jockey Club where he came into contact with Captain Kazimierz Bobinski. Together, they completed Bobinski's work on compiling the "Bobinski-Zamoyski Family Tables of Racehorses", published in 1954. He was awarded the Virtuti Militari Order.
