Strange. because I knew one person from Poland (she run away during II war) which speaks Yiddish and I can catch some words because sound like German. Never heard any word close to Polish. Maybe they use less or something (like some kind of slang?).

Probably depended where the ghetto the person speaking Yiddish was located. Most of them were in Germany, so most were based on Germany. But the ones in Warsaw would include some Polish in the mix, I suppose.
That person was from south Poland (Silesia)
