Here at the VA War Memorial, we collect items such as the photographs you 
discussed. In our collection we have photos taken by an American soldier 
when his unit liberated POW camps in Germany.  The photos can be donated to 
any institution which discusses WWII, holocaust museums, history museums, 
and Memorials such as the one I work for. As far as I know, there should be 
no legal ramifications regarding the family having the photos. It has been 
about 50 years since they were taken and unless they are stamped "property 
of the US Army" they should belong legally to the family.

I hope the family was able to hear some of the stories regarding their 
father/grandfather's service during WWII.
