Hinduism does not say that the world is illusory, but the way we perceive and relate to it through the faculties and emotions can be illusory , due to our inherent likes and dislikes instilled by conditioning.

The Nazis hated the Jews while the Turks on the other hand invited Jewish refugees of european persecution to Turkey, rightly calculating that jewish skillsets would develop Turkish commerce, sciences and arts.

It takes a subtle intellect to understand the context of illusion or Maya in Hinduism. Hence the reason why it is usually misinterpreted and misunderstood.
