Wednesday's shooting at the Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington has focused new attention on what is being done to monitor and counter various hate groups in the United States. Police say a security guard at the museum was killed when an elderly white supremacist, James von Brunn, walked into the museum and opened fire. Von Brunn was shot by security guards and remains in critical condition. VOA's Carolyn Presutti takes a look at the connection between what's happening in the U.S. and hate groups.
