WARSAW (AFP)---More than 200 documents on the Nazi SS which ran the Auschwitz death camp have been found in an attic of a house in a nearby Polish town, the PAP news agency reported Sunday.   

A number of the documents concern the doctor Victor Capesius, who conducted drug experiments on prisoners from February 1944 and was the camp's last chief pharmacist, according to Auschwitz-Birkenau Museum historian Adam Cyra.
   

The documents were found in the attic of a house undergoing renovation in the town of Oswiecim, outside of which the Nazis built the Auschwitz-Birkenau death camp where they exterminated more than one million people, mostly Jews.
   

Capesius, who was sentenced to nine years prison after the World War II by a German court, died in 1985.
