I have a violin, which my father took out of an abandoned chateau in Remagen, during WWII. Do you know of any family members looking for its return?

sorry, i entered the wrong name, his grandfather's name was gilbert albert menix, george was his other grandfather's name, he too was in the war as was a lot of other people's grandfathers, except he was a paratrooper.

I believe that the third guy from the left in the foreground is my dad, Roland Quental.
I know that he was there.
