During the Holocaust, the Nazi euthanasia program, known as Aktion T4, resulted in the systematic killing of approximately 70,000 individuals deemed "unfit" or "life unworthy of life," including those with disabilities and mental illnesses. This program operated from 1939 to 1941, with killings conducted in gas chambers, lethal injections, and other methods. The program was later expanded informally to include other groups during the broader genocidal efforts of the Holocaust.

When did the Nazis begin their ''euthanasia program''?

What?! The Nazis did not begin any euthanasia program. They did medical experiments on living people, and tortured and murdered many others. But there was no euthanasia program.There's some misunderstanding here. (It doesn't look to me as if the questioner is using the word euthanasia as a synonym for the Holocaust). The Nazis did all of the above. There was a Nazi euthanasia programme in addition to the main Holocaust and the medical experiments. It was directed against certain categories of mentally and physically incurable "Aryans" and was in full swing from about October 1939- September 1941, when it was drastically cut back following protests (which were later joined by Roman Catholics). It was codenamed the T4 Programme (or Action) and some historians, such as Ian Kershaw, have suggested that the scaling back of this programme left expert killers available for the Holocaust.Clarification:The Nazis exterminated people against their will. The Nazis did the choosing and chose who they thought shouldn't be allowed to live. Euthanasia as discussed today is the termination life as a humane act.The word euthanasia in your question should be highlighted in quotation marks since Nazi killing was anything but humane.
