what is postmodernism?

I don't get post-modernism. I'm not sure whether its just an intellectual way of saying 'whatever I or anyone else thinks, we might be wrong'. If you take this too seriously doesn't it have some dangerous implications?

My understanding of post-modernism is that it says that there is no objective reality, just partial knowlege or 'truths'. Am I right? If so, how does that work? Doesn't it mean that postmodernists can't accuse people who deny the existence of the holocaust of being factually incorrect?

"Postmodernism leaves us hopeless in an unending mall; without a living critique; nowhere"
