Shouldn't this category be entitled "Jews who emigrated to the United Kingdom to escape Nazism"? Either that or "Jews who migrated to the United Kingdom to escape Nazism"? 213.86.16.27 (talk) 13:01, 1 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
No, technically you emigrate from, but immigrate to, although it is certainly true that emigrate is the most commonly used term in everyday speech and this construction does therefore look a little odd. But it is correct. -- Necrothesp (talk) 13:46, 1 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
You're being very categorical (pun intended), but I think what you're saying really only applies to American English. I'm therefore happy to let it stand. However, in passing, I'd like to say that, in British English, it's perfectly acceptable to say that "so-and-so emigrated to America", meaning "so-and-so emigrated [from somewhere] to America." The terminology "immigrated to" is nowhere near as common in British English as "immigrated into" (eg, "so-and-so immigrated into America"), though, to my British ears, it's wrong - personally I would use migrate (ie, "so-and-so migrated to America"). Oxford Dictionaries online (Lexico) support my view: www.lexico.com/en/definition/emigrate. 213.86.16.27 (talk) 10:12, 2 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
