Stefania Dambrowska è nata il 12 ottobre 1916 a San Pietroburgo. Prima della Seconda guerra mondiale la sua famiglia acquistò la tenuta a Orwidów Dolny nella contea di Vilnius, oggi Lituania. Il 17 settembre 1939 l'esercito sovietico invase il territorio e la contea di Vilnius divenne parte della Lituania e poi dell'Unione Sovietica. Nella primavera del 1941, sua madre fu deportata nell'entroterra dell'Unione Sovietica durante l'ondata di repressione contro il popolo polacco. Dopo l'invasione tedesca nell'estate del 1941, Stefania iniziò a nascondere le persone oppresse dall'occupante nella tenuta dove viveva sola. Lì si nascondevano diversi profughi di Varsavia, ebrei e membri di sinistra del movimento di Resistenza. La maggior parte di loro è sopravvissuto alla guerra. Stefania Dąmbrowska si è impegnata col Comitato Polacco di Liberazione Nazionale (PKWN) a Lublino e ha lavorato con il comitato per la documentazione del genocidio nazista nel campo di concentramento di Majdanek. È stata insignita della medaglia di Giusto tra le Nazioni del Mondo. Vive a Varsavia.
