Need help with title of book about an escape from East Berlin. The book appeared as

a book section in Reader's Digest, early to mid 1960's.

A family lived very close to the wall, and they, along with some friends, dug a tunnel and escaped. I think about
8-10 people escaped.

Anybody else remember this?
