Juozas Ambrazevičius  Juozas Ambrazevičius or Juozas Brazaitis (December 9, 1903 in Trakiškiai, Marijampolė parish – November 28, 1974 in South Orange, New Jersey), was a Lithuanian literary historian, better known for his political career and nationalistic views. He was the acting Prime Minister of the Provisional Government of Lithuania from June 23, 1941 to August 5, 1941. Ambrazevičius studied literature at the University of Lithuania in Kaunas and the University of Bonn. From 1927 he lectured on Lithuanian literature and folklore in Kaunas. By the end of the 1930s he got involved in numerous organizations for literature teachers and scientists. His major works include "Theory of Literature" ("Literatūros teorija" in 1930), two-volume "A History of World Literature" ("Visoutinė literatūros istorija" in 1931-1932), "Vaižgantas" (in 1936), three-volume "New Readings" ("Naujieji skaitymai"), "Lithuanian Writers" ("Lietuvių rašytojai" in 1938). He also worked on the editorial staff of national daily "Lietuva" ("Lithuania") and Catholic daily "XX amžius" ("The 20th Century"). He would sometimes use pseudonym Servus to write for these newspapers. During World War II he edited an underground periodical "Į laisvę" ("Towards Freedom") which he later revived in Germany and in the United States. It is known that in the summer of 1944 Ambrazevičius left for Germany, and in 1948 for the United States, where he edited a Catholic daily, "Darbininkas", and continued his work in the Supreme Committee for the Liberation of Lithuania in exile. He published a number of leaflets illustrating German and Soviet crimes in Lithuania and the Lithuanian resistance, for example, "In the Name of the Lithuanian People" (1946) and "Appeal to the United Nations on Genocide" (1951). In 1964 he published a book "Alone, all alone" about the Lithuanian armed resistance. The Kremlin actively opposed his activities. In the 1970s he became a subject of interest for the Soviet media and American hunters of Nazi colloborators, who accused him of having worked for the Third Reich.
