Osias Freshwater (1897–1976) was a British property developer and founder of what became the Freshwater Group / Daejan Holdings estate. Company and press histories state that he was born in Sassov, Galicia, emigrated to England in 1939, that his first wife and three children were murdered in the Holocaust, and that in 1947 he married Nechama Golda Stempel (née Halberstam), widowed daughter of Rabbi Ben Zion Halberstam of the Bobov dynasty. Their sons Benzion (b. 1948) and Solomon (b. 1950) later led the group.[1][2][3]
