A case which housed an accordion lost during World War II. US Lieutenant General Scott A. Kindsvater inherited the accordion from his grandfather who found the instrument with a fallen German soldier during World War II. General Kindsvater returned the case to Mrs. Christel Nierhoff, the younger sister of the accordion’s original owner, November 28, 2019. Noted on the case is a small hole on the lid's right; while the grandfather carried the case through the war a bullet pierced it, also wounding the grandfather who survived to bring both the case and his stories home.
