Selina Robinson was a senior minister in British Columbia’s government, helping guide the province through an unprecedented pandemic and overseeing a successful economic recovery. Then came October 7 and a global tsunami of antisemitism. Robinson – one of Canada’s most prominent Jewish elected officials – was instantly in the sights of anti-Israel and antisemitic activists. In this searing, powerful memoir, Robinson reflects on the antisemitism she experienced in government and the silence of colleagues who betrayed the values she thought they shared. More than a personal testimony, Truth Be Told is a cautionary story of the dangers to ethnocultural communities, multiculturalism and democracy itself when leaders stay silent – or place expediency ahead of principles.
